Morning Tracy
It's exciting getting your fish, isn't it? Are you new to fishkeeping?
Sue will call in and help you out properly with advice, but in the meantime, I thought I would just ask, is your Siamese fighter male or female? If it is a male you will have to be careful who he lives with. They are generally better (pardon the pun ;)0 in a smaller tank on their own or maybe with a snail.
My own fighter, Rafe, had to go in to my main tank when his tank sprang a leak. I was very lucky that he and all the other fish, which included a male dwarf gourami, behaved themselves and got along ok. I believe this was helped by Rafe being a bit of a gentleman and not one to flex his muscles and that he went in to the tank last, so he was not in a situation where he felt he had to guard his territory. If you add other fish to your tank....especially larger ones, I think you may have problems. You may be better advised to get another tank for the fighter, and then look at your stocking levels.
If you go to the community creator bit on this site, you can put in your tank dimensions and current fish and it will tell you how you stand with how many other fish, (if any) your tank can accomodate, and which ones will be compatible.
The other thing to say is that you will increase your numbers quite dramatically as your platys will keep on producing fry. Some will get eaten by the other fish but not all. You need to have a plan for what you are going to do with the ones that survive mealtimes
My own platys breed like....well..platys
but I have been lucky in that my local shop takes the babies....most won't. In fact, I am taking a load in today.
Also, while I think of it, if the CC says you have space for more fish, you should increase your oto numbers, they need to be in a shoal of six or more.
I'm sorry to be a bit of a damp squib about it all, but I should hate for you to have problems and upset your happy little community. If it works out you can add more fish, I can't recommend highly enough, the corydoras
There are a lot of different ones to choose from, but they are all lovely friendly, peaceful fish with loads of character....I wouldn't be without mine. I have pepper cories (not salt & pepper, they are different.) and panda cories. Have a look at them all, there's one for nearly every set-up, just find one that suits your tank size, water conditions and hardness of water. They just need to be on a sand or round gravel substrate, (to protect their barbels from damage and infection) and their water needs to be kept really clean (but it should be anyway
). They are wonderful fish and get along with everybody.
Well, enough blathering on at you, see what you think, and I'm sure there will be other suggestions posted in. Good luck with it all and let us know what you decide on in the end....pics are always good too
We love pics and I don't think we have had a corner tank on our gallery yet
Have a good Saturday!
