Aquarium Advice Regular
I have a 15-gallon column tank that's lit, heated, filtered, and planted. It's currently got one black moor goldfish and two black mollies and that's it. It's 13 inches wide by 13 inches deep by 18.5 inches tall.
I know that eventually, my black moor will become too large for this tank, but he's only about two inches long right now and I know he'll probably get to be about 6 inches in length. When I told my local PetCo that I'd bought him from Walmart on impulse and didn't realize how big he'd get, a sales associate told me that I can bring him in and they'll take him, but I don't want to get rid of him any time soon because I really like him. Maybe by the time he gets big enough to be unhappy in my tank I'll be able to afford something along the lines of a 30-40 gallon tank, but that's not right now.
My question is, would it be okay to add 1-2 more mollies or 3-4 guppies to my tank? Also, I'm thinking about getting either a couple black mystery snails or about 10 ghost shrimps for clean up and maintenance. What do you think?
EDIT: If the black moor was relocated, would the stocking I suggested be okay? That's what I'm really wondering.
