How Many Tankmates?

[MissaD89]

I really want to add
Rummynose Tetra
Cardinal Tetra
Electric Blue Rams/GBRS
Cory Cats
Tiger Loach

The tank is a 93 gallon tall and I was thinking of having at least 7 discus.
My filtrations are a sponge filter, a Fluval 305 canister and Fluval 306 canister. With weekly w/c of 50-60%

How many of each of these tank mates would be suitable?

Melissa, you can add a good amount. Here is just a suggestion:
schools of tetras, 10-15 each species
10-15 corydoras, I think a single species looks better
6 rams (2 males 4 females) provided you have enough territorial divisions set up with wood, slate, plants etc
forget the loach and get an ancistrus or two instead (just a personal opinion)

[MissaD89]

What is an ancistrus? I'm super partial to loaches but I'm open to suggestions ☺ I was thinking along the lines of maybe 6 Cories since I have kuhli loaches as a cleanup crew at the moment, and I can't part with them, I love them.
The tank is going to be heavily planted and its already stacked with driftwood ☺

Just looked it up ☺ actually I already have a BN Pleco

How many rummynose and how many cardinals should I add though? And could I possibly add one more discus?

[jmf3460]

wait your tank already has fish in it? I thought we were dealing with an empty tank here and you were looking for advice on what to stock. You are looking for advice on what more to add?? What all is in the tank? I would not mix corydoras and loaches...go with one or the other looks better IMO

No no no I have another tank but its a 20 gallon. That's where my loaches and pleco are. The 93 gallon is empty.
