Advice on stocking tank.

[candyflossgirl]

Hi.

I currently have a 64L tank that is stocked with 6 Cherry Barbs, 8 neon tetras and 2 dawf gourami's.

Am wondering how near my tank limit I am? As was wanting some glow light tetras and maybe something else larger but unsure of what.

Any advise would be awesome

Hello candyflossgirl and welcome

Your tank is approx. 80% full when the fish are adults.
My only question is what filter do you have?
This will determine if you have enough filtration to add a few extra small fish.

Hope it helps

Welcome to the forum. You can use http://aqadvisor.com/ to give you a guide to stocking levels. It's not perfect but pretty helpful

Currently I'm using the filter that came with the tank. It's a love fish 64L panorama tank.

Am going to upgrade to the fluvl u2 though

How hard is your water? If your water is hard go for a couple of mollies maybe platys, if your water is soft, go for tetras.

I would suggest that you are potentially at the limit with the built-in filter.
The Fluval U2 is better but the Fluval U3 is even better, if it will fit in your tank.
The U3 will be suitable when you upgrade and get a 125L tank .... we call it MTS, multiple tank syndrome.

It's too small for mollies.
I would say it's too small for anything else top/mid swimming.
You may get, say 3 or 4 otocinclus, but that depends on your water hardness (they should have soft/neutral water).
