I currently have
1 Female Blue Ram (very non-aggressive, she is in the back of the tank most of the day)
2 Mollys M,F (Male is most aggressive one in tank) Female is chill
8 Neon Tetras
2 Glowlight Tetras
2 Endlers

I would like to up my Glowlight Tetra school to 5 and possibly add 2 male guppies. When I did my calculations in AqAdvisor, it said I'd be ok with that stock (98% capacity). Just wondering what you all think about the additions.

Thanks!
Jill

Personally I would do the following
1 Female Blue Ram
2 Mollys M,F Add another female or two, should help reduce male aggression
8 Neon Tetras
2 Glowlight Tetras up this to 6
2 Endlers

And that's all I'd do, the more different species you have, the more chance for problems you have

Hardy's suggestion makes a lot of sense. Only thing is that you may end up with fry surviving and you need to find a solution to the extra mollies.

That's what the lady ram is for :)

Thanks, for the advice! My Molly did have fry and one was doing so well on his own (2 weeks) then he vanished :-\ I'll leave the guppies out, they are so pretty I was looking forward to adding them, but I'll hold off. Mollies make a lot more waste than the neons, will I be ok adding 1 or 2 more?
