Default restocking a 24g

Ok heres the deal I have a lightly stocked 25g you can see the current stocking in my sig. I am interested in adding to it once I get to Texas, this gives me a couple weeks to decide. I am open to just about anything. even if it means removing the current fish. Apistos and rams are not an option.

Hmmm so lets see aww yes tank is perfect for a angelfish or a pair of Convicts. Maybe even a Peacock Eel too. Doable pretty much.
Ooo better yet, a pair of leaffish with the cats.

I do like the peacock eels, I definately want a more agressive tank..the cats are strictly nocturnal so they are safe against larger daytime predators, and the pleco can defend itself as well. I am going for a SA biotype if possible, I dont want/like angels. I could possibly move the cats into the 90g and go with africans too.
I have a 30g that is my NA (native) biotype

Come on folks..21 views and only one member giving any input.

Wait a minute here. The tank is not big enough for any of the fish that were just listed here. Its only a 25G tank. If you are looking to add more fish you are a tad limited in space. I would think about maybe getting a few Black Phantoms to maybe set off your Paradise Gourami. They are a tetra but one that should be able to handle that PG

What kind of Pleco is in that tank???

You really need to stop giving advice if you cant do it correctly. I would not add 2 more 5 inch fish into this tank with the current stock.

Alright a SINGLE leaffish should do fine. Not really to agressive but will eat small fish when bigger.

Ok now forget size and look at body type. Paradise Gourami tend to have pretty big tempers and a Leaf Fish has a similiar body type. Like I said, QUIT giving advise unless you know what you are talking about!
