What other tankmates can i have?

Hey there,

I have a community tank setup (300Ltr) with the following fish

1x Dwarf Gourami
8x Tetras (3 Neons & 5 Glowlights)
2x Platys
2x Oto's
3x Cory's (2 Peppered, 1 Albino)
1x Bulldog Pleco
3x Aquatic Dwarf Frogs

I am wanting to add just a few more fish but dont want to overstock and am wondering if there are any others tankmates suitable.

I was thinking of either an Angelfish or a Female Betta?

Or.. Should i add a few more Platys and tetras or any other ideas?

Thanks

well 300L is 80 gallons (US) so you can have 80 inches of fish

you have about 40 inches of fish, so you have another 40 inches of fish left

(that is if you wanted to reach maximum, in my 55 gal i only have about 35 inches of fish, so the fish are happier and have more room, also less water changes)

you could always look at angelfish, rasboras, hatchetfish, shrimp, snails, loaches, and guppys

hope this helped

I agree, i would suggest you get some angelfish, they can add some graceful movement to your tank

Welcome to Fishlore That tank sounds pretty full to me. You might be able to fit another platy and oto in, but I wouldn't put an angel or betta in.
