I have a 30 gallon tank that currently contains a pleco, 3 neon tetras, 2 mickey mouse platies and 2 gold gouramis. I intend to rehome the platies soon and I might also be moving in an oto who is currently living in the future home of my future figure 8 puffer. I hear rumor that the neons might eventually start looking like food to the gouramis and if they do, I'll rehome them, too. The tank is very newly planted and I hope to make it a pretty heavily planted tank eventually (this is my first attempt at a planted tank). My question is, assuming that the 2 gouramis, 3 neons, and 1 pleco are permanent residents of this tank, how many and what kind of fish should I add to this 30 gallon tank? I don't want to overcrowd, but I also want to maximize my aquarium space.
