Hello,
I have a 60L tank, well filtered with 2 internal filters, currently stocked with 3 platies and 4 zebra danios, plus multiple snails.
I was planning on adding 4 small cories, maybe panda cories to this list (plus maybe some cherry shrimp). I think this would be a decent stock level, though aqadviser suggests there would be room to add a few more small fish.
My question is, could I add 5-6 cardinal tetras, or maybe 5 celestial pearl rasboras, or would I be better perhaps just adding an extra danio and/or platy? There's the question over stocking levels and also the question of aesthetics (would that many types of fish in a relatively small tank look overdone?), plus compatibility.
The tank is low light, fairly heavily planted, cat litter plus sand based, with bogwood and a decent natural habitat.
Appreciate any views.
Cheers

8x CPD or 8x pygmy cory's (other cory's are big so 5 max) or 5 cardinals, but get botom feeders cory's as you have none yet.
