yep aware of the stocking issues, at present im looking at taking the lemon and harlequin tetras out and the cherry barbs out (possibly back to the lfs, possibly to a friend) and adding a couple more corys and rummy nose tetras. Dont think it would be a wise idea to add a load more of each to the tank, possibly be over stocked then ???
I would prefer (and recommend) to see your stocking at something along the lines of:
* 1 Betta splendens (questionable compatibility with ram, depends on individual fish)
* 10 Corydoras of one species
* 15 rummy nose tetra of one species (there are three species known under this common name, here is a good explanation: http
/www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=16+1911+1955&aid=2546)
* 1 pleco (up to 4" when adult, needs bogwood and possibly caves)
* 1m 1f blue ram (any colour morph)
…because even that is higher stocking than I am likely to have in a tank that size, but not what I'd call overstocked, and I do not think it is nice to keep any schooling species in groups of under 10, while I consider it very important to have larger-than-I-usually-recommend groups for rummy noses (I have 25, and even with that many, it sometimes looks like too few, but in a smaller tank fewer should work better than in a larger tank).
