General stocking question

[Oak77]

Does anyone have a link to a site or thread that I might be able to read up on how to know what type of fish are compatible with the fish in my tank now? My LFS is still open but only doing curbside pick up along with online sales. I haven't reached out to them yet because I wanted to look on there site so I had some ideas prior to calling them.

This is my first time adding new fish after my initial set up of tank and fish. I have lost some in the process, I think. The reason I say this is that I thought I lost some ottos and they came out of hiding the other day. Haven't seen them in weeks. My current stock I think is: 7 panda tetras, 2 or 3 blue emporer tetras, 2 juli corys, 1 blue cory (should be two and there might be), may 2 ottos, 1 or 2 danios, and 2 nerite snails. This is in a 23 gallon tank.

DOn't have a website unfortunately, but my advice would be to do research and use common sense. Everything depends on your tank size, temperature, species.... There are so many factors that in my opinion, one website is just not going to be able to cover it all. If you ever have a question, feel free to post it here; there are a lot of members that are great with stocking.

Aqadvisor can help with stocking though as you’ll probably hear it’s not the most accurate

Hello,

Instead of more kinds of fish I'd recommend bringing your current schools of corys, tetras, and danios up to at least 6 of each species (unless you just don't like some of them and don't want more). Those are all shoaling fish and do better in groups; the bigger the better.

Yeah, I'm aware. This is my first round of fish. All types I have currently I had in groups of six or more except the cory's I had 3 of each. The ottos I only had two. I have had my tank going since November 2019. Still very new at all this. The panda tetras have done the best.
