Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Fish Guy, that would be too overstocked. I would suggest 4 more gold barbs, since they are schooling. You could also add a trio of ottos if you wanted. They might help with any algae problem you encounter. Various shrimp and snails are fun things to have in small tanks like yours as well. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.
