Hi guys, i have a 36lx18dx12w tropical setup, in it i have a few plants, 6 danios (a mixture of zebra and leopard and one that is neither im not sure what but its my fave) 5 glowlight tetra, 1 golden gouriami, 1 betta, 1.1 congo tetra, 3 khuli loach and 3 amino shrimp any room for more, if so what do you guys suggest?

hi, the tank is starting to get to its full stocking potetial, as long as you keep up with your water changes you could put a few more in such as some other speacies of tetra, corys, bristyle nose catifish, glass cats, other small plec, and the useual guppy, platys, mollys, neaons.
but be carful not to over stock it, what ever you put in next should be the last you add till some die, as the fish you have will grow.
hope this helps.

I'd personally go with a pair of apistograma. but im always trying to persuade people to get cichlids

i was thinking about that last night and yeah i reckon thats the way to go, a litlle less risky than the cichlids, only trouble is my lfs dont stock them (and wont get them in due to them looking boring as youngsters apparently odd i know, but well worth it imo), i got that one from doncaster and i live on the west coast of wales quite a trek but ill keep my eyes peeled, also got some exiting news form the guy in the lfs, pets at home moved into town recently and knocked the lfs for six, but rather than give up he gonna fully refurb and expand his fish section, cant wait , support your local shops i say.

there's no risk in apistos. they live with pretty much anything except kribs.

if you dont get cichlids, get a puffer fish tank, that would look cool, and i want a puffer as the lfs has a couple.
