Hi, so I have a 120 L tank about 31 us gallons i believe
I have very hard water (350 ppm)
I currently have 3 male guppies, 3 male platies, 9 cherry barbs (seriously fish says they can go up to that hardness) and 6 peppered cories (didn’t know they where soft water fish at the time of purchasing but I’ve had corys for a while now and all seem good)

Does this stocking seems too much or would I have room for some more fish. Interested In a fish that would be happy alone or as a pair and a bit bigger (a centre piece fish) but not sure if I’m already over stocked

Thank you

600l/h filter
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
20-40 nitrate (nitrate it tape is quite high so got some floating plants to help with that)

Your not over stocked, I’d say this is a pretty good stocking. If you want to add something new I’d say go for a mystery snail
I got an assassin snail ages ago when I had an infestation of pest snails but I’ve controlled it now, but I’m worried he would eat it

Hm. What’s your filtration? If you have above adequate filtrate you could possibly have a female betta
As stated above I have 600l/h filter and I believe my water is way to hard for betas

Most captive bred fish can adapt to harder or softer water than what they might live in in the wild. I also have very hard water, and I keep angelfish and lots of corys. In the past I’ve also kept bettas.
 

Random Great Topic!
