I have a 50 gallon 36"x18"x18" with a sump with a decent amount of plants.
I keep the temp around 74-76 degrees. I do 25% water changes weekly.

GH is 7
KH is 7
PH is 7.4 - 7.8
Stock list:
8 Venezuelan Red Sailfin Cory average of 1" in size
4 Otocinclus 2" in size
3 Golden Wonder Killifish (all males) 3" in size
10 Green Tiger Barbs about 1" in size

Everyone is happy, healthy and gets along quite well.

I am wondering if there is room for more? A singular fish? Or a small school of something? I understand Barbs can be nippy and the Killifish will eat what will fit in there mouth.

I would love to hear thoughts from others if there space for something else or if I am well stocked/overstocked.

Thank you

Is there any more space for creatures? Anybody have an opinion on the matter?

Have you checked out AQADVISOR ? It's a stocking calculator that takes your tanks size and filters in to account. It's not perfect but it's pretty good. Probably a lot more accurate than the largely anecdotal answers you'll get here. You can get familiar with it and then make your own adjustments, like slightly more stock for heavily planted or large frequent water changes.

I will check it out. Thank you!
