Hey everyone,

I have today purchased a second filter to use on my tank, I allready have an EX700 and also now have a EX1200.

Now that I have the extra filteration can I upp my stocking levels?? The fish I have are

15 Cardinal Tetra (will be upping to 20 soon)
6 Corrydoras (will be upping to 10 soon)
5 Male Guppies
2 Electric Blue Rams

I am open to sugestions for any other type of compatable fish, but here is a list of what I would like to have but am unsure if suitable? Obviousley I wont want all these, and I would add them slowly to allow the new filter to mature/cycle.

2 Blue Rams? (not more electric blues)
Neon Tetras?
More Make Guppies?
Dwarf Gouramis?
More Shrimp?
Snails? (dont want my plants eaten tho)

At the moment most of my fish stay in the bottom half of the tank, mayby because I have 2 powerheads and some dont like the current, but I would like some fish to cover the top half of the tank?

ps; I guess space will now be the issue.
 
shrimps wont take much spaces , so shrimp x howmany ever you like.. in my 75 US gal, I have about 20 shrimps,

and usually more filters meaning better water quality, doesnt make more spaces for fishes...I always go by 1 gal per 1 inch fish rule..seems to work ok for me,

but having lot of schooling neons are cool too, depends on how you want your tank to look i guess
