Well i have 5 guppies, 2 polkadot catfish, 2 otos, 1 kribensis, and 10 ghost shrimp. If that isnt overstocked would it be okay if i added 2 double red apistogramma cichlid in there?

What exactly do you mean by polkadot catfish? I can think of a couple of catfish with polkadots... and not all of them are suitable for a 30 gallon. Other than that possibility I think that your tank is fine, but I think you should find out what those polkadot catfish really are.

My guess is they are Pictus Polkadot Catfish. They get about 6 inches.

I don't know much about shrimp but I do know they have a small bio-load as well as Otos. The Krib is about 4 inches full grown? And the double reds are about 3.5 inches full grown?.....i don't see why not since the shrimp have small bio-load. And make sure the Krib and Double Reds are compatible tankmates since they are cichlids. Might be some aggression. May not be such a good idea.

Yes i thin alyeska is right, the lady at the store told me 6 inches, and they were just labeled as polkadot catfish. imma buy double red on friday hopefully it works out

maybe just one other cichlid instead of 2
