2 Questions about my new setup

hey guys

I I just got a new set of fish after my old Jack Dempsy died.

So i've now got a little community of 2 Gold Gouramis and 2 Dwarf Guaramis, and a beautiful Discus.

My first question is are there any suggestions on any other fish that would be good for my community?

And my second question, Would it be ok to put a few Small freshwater crabs or snails in there?

My tank is 35 gallons.


Thanks guys

Assuming the G. Gouramis are 6 inch each and the Dwarfs Approx. 3 inch + Discus 6 inch.
you may almost if not are at full capacity. you might be able to get away with some snails.

Hachet, a fishlore member is very good in the stocking department hopefully they see this thread .

Welcome to Fish Lore

I can't comment on the compatablity of your other fish, but a crab will most likely try to eat your other fish. If I recall correctly, they also have different water requirements.

I agree that your tank is pretty much stocked as it is, and would not add anymore fish to it. Eventually you will need a larger tank for your Discus to be happy.
