I know I'm driving you guys nuts... This will be my last new thread for the day :)

My two 46 Bow fronts are looking bare now that I divided the stock between the old and new.
In my older one I would like to have the following (italics are additions)
10 Red eye tetras (3)
5 red and blue tetras (2)
2 molly females (1)
3 platy (2)
5 Emerald green cory (2)

Is this too much? Should I not add something? I would really like a neon school would that be way too much?

Filtration is a marineland 70 biowheel HOB and I'm getting another filter (size difference) to add to take the place of the one I removed to use on the other tank.

The next is the new 46.
Filtration AC 70 and I'm getting a second filter soon
George is in it with some bullying tigers and odessa. What should I add to this tank? More tigers?

You will be adding the italicized numbers to the existing numbers? As in 13 red eyed tetras? Either way, I think you will be fine w/ stocking that tank. If the total is after the additions, I think you would be fine adding more. I'd just add more to your red and blue tetra school.

I'm not sure of the exact inhabitants of the other tank, but more tigers would probably be okay, and a good option since they seem to do better in larger schools (assuming you are talking about tiger barbs.)

Just add some new decor to the new 46 is the only thing I have to say. I thought you posted something like this already...? Anyways, I will repeat: the stocking looks good to me! Have fun with your tank!

Actually total numbers is with the additions the ones in italics is how many I need to get to that number. It would be 10 red eyes. How many red and blues should I get and how many neons?

Actually I did, then I posted on the other that it was a accidental double post but that got deleted.... Oh well. I have a "tree" for george. And I'm going to add more to the middle portion, its kind of bare because I was using stuff I had already.

Yes I would use tiger barbs.

Personally, I would decide on either red and blues or neons, then I'd get a larger school of either. If you want to add neons, leave the red and blues as they are and get about 6 neons. I wouldn't want to add too many more than that.
