Tank fully stocked?

I'm wondering what else I can put into my 55 gal., or is it already stocked?
I have 1 BR Parrot, 1 DG, 4 zebra danios, 2 blind cave tetras, 3 albino cories, 1 clown pleco.
I was thinking maybe 2 more schools of tetras?

And my 20 gal. - has 1 female betta, 3 rosy reds & 2 mollies(?). I know one is an albino sailfin mollie, but the other looks like a twin bar platy. Not sure what she is actually. lol.

i'd increase to 6 danios and 6 blind cave tetras, probably a couple more corys as well with small fish like that i dont think it would have much of an impact on your bioload in a 55

I will def. be adding more danios. They're such active little things. The blind cave tetras have nothing to do with eachother, so I'm not sure if I want to even add anymore of them. Possibly one more. They get pretty big too.
I was thinking of adding a school of Black Skirts to my 55.
Maybe a differnt type of tetra, but I really like the black skirts.

you'd definitely have room for the school of black skirts, that would look great

you could add a school of b.skirts, as well as the extra danios and still have a little space left

extra room could be for a school of small tetras, like glass bloodfins

I was thinking a school of black skirts & a school of neons.
Kinda nervous that the parrot will take out the neons though.

cardinals may be better as i believe thewy get a little bigger, plus they are a hardier fish, with IMO better colours

I would except I can't find Cardinals anywhere around here. Only neons.

I would suggest getting your 1 bloody parrot a partner. They are so much fun to watch when they play together.

I had another BR Parrot & the one I already have literally starved it. So I sold it back to my LFS. He's too aggressive to have another BR parrot.

What about the 20 gal.? 3 mollies (at least that's what they were sold as), 3 rosy reds & 1 female betta. If there anything else I can wiggle in there?
