Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Wondering if i could add some corys

yeah...sorta changed my tank...gave old fish to my cousin cos he wanted to start. well..if you look at my aquarium info...i now have 6 discuses, 12 neons and a bgk. i know the bgk will get big eventually but at the moment i have no where to put him, will probably try and sell back to LFS sometime in the near future. question is can i add some corys to my tank? cos the discus dont really eat that much and the neons...well they're neons so some food gets left on the bottom. i also have rounded gravel in the tank. will i be overstocked or not? am i already overstocked? i do water changes ever 3 days of around 20% and gravel vacs every 2 weeks or so. the water parameters seem good at 0-0-5.

I wouldn't add any more fish without getting rid of others. Personally I'd say your way overstocked, mainly because Discus require 10gal of water each, and pristine water conditions. How big are your fish at the moment?

they're quite small right now...only around 4-5cm across..the neons are about 2cm and the bgk is the biggest at 6cm
