another livebearer?

My 55gal is still understocked (6 White clouds, 4 Mollies, 6 Cherry Barbs, 1 banjo catfish, 1 Angel fish)

I do not have any otocinclus at the moment as there really isn't any algae buildup, and it's hard to feed them around the Mollies, who like to steal their food when they get a chance (those guys are extreme pigs).

Do you think it would be ok to add another livebearer into the mix? I was thinking something small like the guppies, but the other livebearers would be cool as well.

The reason I ask is because of babies. I do not mind having any babies, but with my Mollies able to have fry, I do not want to screw up the bioload lol.

Thanks a lot everyone!

Most livebearers will eat their own fry as well as other livebearer fry, so that takes care of that problem, most of the time.

You could add some guppies or a couple swordtails or something to the mix, sure.

great!

I must admit though, it's funny how my stocking list has changed so much..

I probably could have figured this out on my own, but I decided to get another opinion, which I did and it's great!

lol though i'm tempted to go to my LFS today... I probably won't, but i'm very tempted haha

edit:

I fixed my stocking list at the top as well... I forgot about my Angel fish (I was just waking up when I wrote that lol)
