what would go well in a 96 gallon tropical tank i already have
1 angel
12 guppies
2 cory cats
1 weather loach
2 black skirt tetras
2 serpea tetras
1 flying fox
2 hacthet fish

is this already over stocked or could i put more in an if so what I want the whole tank to have lots of color an activity

DARKPHREAK

I'd add alot of cardinal tetras and amano shrimp. The cardinals school really well and look awesome.

I'd add more of the schooling fish you already have:
More Cories
More Black Skirts
More Sepaes
and
a couple more weather loaches.

That will up the level of colour and activity! You will be heavily stocked, but manageable, as long as you do your weekly waterchanges and maintenance!

StylinT

what about crayfish or small asian crabs would they work in that kind of a tank setup
I heard from the pet store that they would kill the cories or somthing else in my tank

Evan

I would not put the crayfish in. If they can get a hold of one of the fish they will kill it.

StylinT

so that goes for the asian crabs aswell ???
