I have a 95L tank with these fish:
- 10 neon tetras
- 6 ember tetras
- 2 panda corys
- 2 pepper corys
- 2 gold honey gouramis

If anyone could give me some advise I would greatly appreciate it
Add some more corys. They like to be in groups of at least 6

If I added those would it be close to capacity?

I do a 50% water change every 2 weeks and it’s moderately planted with the fluval accent underwater filtwe

By the way, when Craig said:

It means have 6 of both species (6 peppered, 6 panda)

Test your water after a week with the new stock and if your levels are high you might have to do a 20-30% change every week instead of biweekly. It should be fine though

Yeah that’s my mistake they seem to be going pretty well

Thanks for your help appreciate it

Do u think I could add 2 more panda Cory’s and 1 gold honey gourami or would that be too much

As in 8 panda cories in total? That should be good, but I'd say the gourami is a no-go.

I would recommend having at least 6 of each cory but no gouramis.

Why is that?

Why is that?
Cories shoal in large numbers in the wild and generally won't feel very comfortable in a small group. I wouldn't recommend having three gouramis (3 is the minimum as they are social) in a 20 gallon tank.

So how many Cory’s could I add today to make sure they feel relatively comfortable

At least 4 more of both kinds.

Wouldn’t that be way overstocked?

Without the gouramis, I'd say no. Just do large water changes each week.
