New Stocking List - Panda Cories/honey Gourami

[Lillefishy]

The fish you already have are good at the temperature your tank is now, you need to rethink which cory would be suitable at that temp

Imho sterbai are getting too large for that tank. Do you have those barbs already? I could not see them on the pic you posted today. Before adding any more fish I would work on that tank a little. You complained that u don't like it the way it is. Me neither. Poor honey gouramis. They need a densely planted tank. Your tank is nearly empty.

Would it work if I met in them in the middle at 24/25 Celsius

What is considered normal behaviour for panda Cory's and also I have a sand substrate with a couple of little rocks here and there and I was wondering would they be able to swim over these little rocks or would it hurt there barbels and could they sleep on these small rocks from Tom

I have been reading online and this is the temperature range I got for all the fish in my tank
Panda Cory's 22-25 Celsius but can go down to 19
Honey gourami 22-27 Celsius
5 banded barb 21-26 Celsius
Apistogramma cacatuoides 22-29 Celsius

At the minute my tank is a 26 Celsius but I'm thinking if I reduce it to 24 Celsius then all my fish should be happy. Is that correct from Tom

I have no experience with apistogramma, but as far as the other fish are concerned, maybe consider Cherry barbs? Just a suggestion if you're wanting another small barb..
 
What are the pH requirements of Apisto's? The others would all do fine in a neutral tank, but as I understood it Apistogramma were south american cichlids; which I thought liked more acidic water...

The apistogramma are not to bothered by the ph but if I wanted to get them to breed I would need to get it between 5.0-6.0 and mines 7.4 and I don't like messing with the water parameters I just keep things how they come out of the tap ( obviously dechlorinate it). Thanks for the suggestion of the cherry barbs but I don't think there is room in the 110 litre tank as I already have
10 five banded barbs
5 honey gourami
2 apistogramma
And 6 panda Cory's

I was meow concerned about the temperature as I know the Cory's prefer a lower temperature and just wanted to make sure that 24 Celsius was an ok temperature for them and my other fish from Tom
