well i went to all the LFS in town and looked at all the possible fish i can put into my tank. I already have a black molly and a little guppy. I was wondering if I could add a Tiger Barb, A few cardinal tetra, and a few otto into the mix. Would they get along? And if this is to many fish, could i still get them and just do 2 water changes a week?

Don't get a Tiger Barb. They can get aggressive and need to be in schools. They shouldn't be put in peaceful community tanks.

if you are talking about a 10g tank, that would be too many. the molly will be atleast 2", guppy about an inch? full grown are a schooling fish right? and otos get no more than 2" if that, but they are also a schooling fish, or atleast like another same type friend. make sure you don't get an CAE by mistake, believe me it is a mistake!! hope it helped some

I would say get 3 Oto's. You will have to supplement their diet with veggies and wafers. Then get 1-2 more mollies, and 1-2 more guppies. Make sure they are all of the same sex in your tank, so you don't risk getting even more overstocked.
