I agree with @Larrimore you should add more cories they are bottom dwellers while also schooling fish. Get around 4 or 5 more of the same species you already have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLabelCarling Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I agree with others re corydoras. What kind of rasboras do you have? It might be cool to have two types of rasboras like harlequin and chili. Your selection is nice and balanced, they will spread pretty evenly among the different sections of the tank minimizing the chance for competition for a specific swimming space. The only curveball might be the angels if they pair up, they'll most likely go after the gourami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettsPapa Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, Williamirish16 said: So what can i add It's your tank, so you can add anything you want, but here's what I'd suggest and/or advise. 6 more of the same species of corydoras you have now. Maybe one more school of mid-water fish such as tetras or rasboras. As @BlackLabelCarling pointed out, mixing angels and gouramis can often cause problems.

Jmcloonan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 ^sounds like a solid start. I would ballpark 10 fish on the bottom and 20 up top if that’s the flavor of answer you’re looking for. Also agreed on the upcoming angel problems. I guess time will tell. Feed your fish well, keep up on maintenance, and let a test kit tell you if you’re overdoing it. You can always add another filter.

Maggie Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I started out with 8 harlequin rasbora in my tank, lost one to injury, and last month I added 12 more. They're amazing in larger groups, no matter which species you have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
