I'd say you're quite close to being fully stocked. What capacity is the new tank? Maybe up the schools of tetras

i have a 2000 lph external filter in the tank,water is pristine

That's a lot of filteration!

I don't know how many you can add with that, but I'd still suggest more tetras as I think they're cool in large groups. What are you after? Weird fish, colourful?

 

[scotty]

not too sure,just wanting to keep the south american theme,don't really want anymore tetras

anyone else??
