To fully stock our newly cycled tank and add to our 4 cory pandas,we purchased 3 sailfin mollys,what a disaster within seconds they were nipping at the other fish and our baby pandas hid in a corner it was awful,so we very quickly returned them to the shop,

We have now added a pair of dwarf honey red gouramis and 4 lemon tetra to our stock of 8 neons and 4 panda corys, so far so good all looks peaceful and a strange group has formed of one lemon tetra one panda and one neon stickong together it looks so funny.

can anyone advice us if were reaching the fully stocked stage or is there any top dwellers we could add as all the action is going on at the bottom.

I think you are pretty well stocked. If you want, wait about 3 weeks, see how it is going, and if you want another cory or a couple of more neons, that should be okay.

we woll wait and see as the tank looks quite busy now as it is after the traumatic morning !
Our pandas are tiny maybe only about an inch long do they grow any bigger ?

thanks, thinking we wont be adding anymore fish to be honest its early days and its going well all the fish seem really happy so dont want to push our luck really!
Just one thing the 4lemon tetras quite strange staying glued to each others side and not really doing anything not investigating or swimming about!they are however getting more yellow and brighter by the hour since we got them home.

Yeap sometimes is weird how fish school together even when they are different species. Good Luck.

thanks im hoping we have got it right after the molly incident this morning ahhh that was terrible.\as i speak the lemon tetras are starting to move around a bit more so hoping they come out of their shell a bit more.
