hi everyone,
Im looking for one more fish/school to add to my 220L tank.

so far it has
10x glowlights
12x neons
2x blue rams
1x BN (either this or the clown pleco will be moved into another tank when i feel its ready for them, maybe 3 weeeks)
1x clown pleco
3x leopard corys (be picking up 3 more when they come in)

so my question is have i got room for something else? it still looks a bit empty. most of the fish are young( my biggest are glowlight females haha) i would like something else in top strata or was thinking even bulking up glowlights and neons a lil more...

any ideas be much appreciated

I agree with Bettachris. Leave the fish to grow out. Just one more fish can turn into a disasiter. A couple of weeks ago i bought 2 more rainbows to add to my existing three. 7 days ago they started to have white spots(ich). Just as i thought they were getting cured, all 5 of the rainbows have signs plus my kuhlies. The otocinclus and zebra danioes are doing good though.

Tanks always look empty especially when all the fish are young. Even my Betta tank looks empty yet it is at its capicity now.

Maybe you can add more than 3 Corydoras. I would get 5 & have a school of 8.

If you do happen to add something, make sure and quarantine them for a few weeks. It's a real shame when we get that itch for more fishes, and they come down with a severe case of ich. It's not worth it, so be careful.
