[ecro83]

Hi everyone,
I have a 30L biorb tank and i want to add mroe fish. Do you think its ok if i add fish if i already have :

4 black neon tetra's
2 Guppies
2 Dalmation mollys
1 Aggassis Cory catfish.

I dont understand the whole inches in the tank thing

hey ecro83, basicly 30litres is 8US Gallons which means the suggested stocking is 8 inches worth of fish,

as you can see below you already have a very rough stocking of 16 inches in a 8gallon tank?

4 black neon tetra's 6 inches
2 Guppies 4 inches
2 Dalmation mollys 4inches
1 Aggassis Cory catfish. 2 inches

I used to use a biorb 30 and I can say just from that it's pretty stocked, if not a bit over... I had 2 mollys and a Plec in mine, that was enough.. so glad I got rid of it as I hated the damn thing!

double over stocked then
1cm to 2L also works roughly

Just go for a second tank. Biorbs are attractive desk tanks, you've got it set up nicely and stable(?) already so why mess with it. Just find a good spot for it and start planning your next one.
