Hey guys new member here and new to the hobby. I have a 35 gallon tall with a Walmart 20/40g filter and a 30/60g heater. As far as fish go I have
1male twin tail betta
1 male dwarf neon gourami powder blue
6 neon tetras
2 green corydoras
I was think about adding 2-4 more Cory's and maybe 4 more tetras. Would this be ok or am I already stocked?
Ps was thinking of upgrading to the 30/60 filter. Necessary or no?

Cant remember to be honest but i am not sure on what levels of flow the betta likes. i know they dont like tons of flow lol.

You can also add plants to your tank to help out with the filtration.
I always well for the most part add slow. check specs for a little while
to make sure the tank can handle the load.

I think what you're wanting to add would be okay eventually. I would hold off for a bit and upgrade your filtering first though. Slower is better.

Sounds like a good start! :-)

Thanks y'all. Last night I added a 5" air stone to add some more flow to the tank and my betta did not like it but the rest of them seem to so he's sol.
