stocking 18.5 gallons tank.

Hi all,
What fish would you prefer for a 85 litre/18.5 gallons tank considering I have already got 1 red tailed black shark, 1 plec and 3 black neon tetras. Without being overstocked.

A:3 more black neon tetras and 6 tiger barbs.

B:3 more black neons and 3 tiger barbs.

C:3 tiger barbs.

D:Different fish.

IF you want to add Tiger barbs to what you already have in the tank, you'll need a much larger tank.

I think that your pretty well stocked. I wouldn't get tiger barbs. What kind of pleco? Most of them will out grow that tank.

Nope the bristle nose won't get more than 4 inches or so. Perfect size.

You have a thread going already on this topic. It's better to have only one thread, since it get confusing!

I wouldn't put a dwarf gourami with the shark, or a bristlenose pleco since it will be harassed especially in such a small tank.

The 2 threads have been merged so the answers can be in 1 place and hopefully less confusing.
