Hi guys
So my 200 L tank has been ticking over for a couple of months now, currently with 4 rummy nose tetras, 4 otos and 5 corys (pandas and trilineatus).

My plan is to get another 4 or 6 rn tetras, then at some point a small group or pair of opal or dwarf gouramis. From there other fish on the wish list include a pair of apistos and lyretail killifish.
Just posting here to get any views on this mix of fish and how fully stocked it would be considered?
Thanks in advance

It’s looking great, you could always check your stocking levels on this site
aqadvisor.com
Just fill in all the relevant details , tank size, filter etc, then you can search for the fish you already have, you can put the common name, add those and it will give a percentage of stock, also any issues, such as filtration needs or clash of fish. It’s not a precise science but a good guide, most go for about 85% stock.

Thanks - just did that and got very confused- couldn't get my stock level over 20%! Then realised I'd used inches instead of cm... I'll have a play now I've got the right dimensions!

I’d be weary mixing gourami and apistos, they can both be a bit territorial so if there isnt enough room they can have a go at each other. So i would go one or the other.
Not sure about the killifish though

You have all cooler water fish except the rummies.
You are then going to add more warmer water fish like gourami......
Er, I would have a rethink about where you want to go with the tank. ;)
You do need more corys, 5 of each (panda and tril) would be better for them.
(Sorry to rain on your parade, but the fish come first :) )
