Hi Guys New Here

[tropicaltime]

Hi you guys i'm new here but not new to fish keeping,


I just wanted to ask a question about my stocking;

I have a 50 gallon long tank - fully cycled by fishless cycling - it has the following;

15 Cardinal Tetras
9 Sterbai Corys
2 Kribensis (Not a pair)

Am I overstocked? Understocked or am I about right?

Thanks

whats the dimensions? generally its not reccomended to keep cichlids with cories

48x20x15 inches I believe and they seem to just do their thing and ignore each other, they've never bothered one another.

Welcome to the forum.
Its definitely not over stocked Im just worried about your actual stocking.
Like already said corys and cichlids should not generally be kept together but if they seem okay and no aggression between them I dont see why you have to change it.

Could I possibly rehome the corys, kribs and tetras and get 1 Firemouth, 1 bristlenose plec, 1 Red tail shark and 12 tiger barbs, if that stocking will work, could you recommend me a type of bottom dweller?

Thanks
