Another Stocking Question

[Jawz]

Ok i got a 35 gallon and was wonderin where i am at in the stockin department because im fairly new to community tanks and the old 1 inche per gallon isnt really useful ive heard. so heres my fish and tell me where u think i am stockin wize

1 Dwarf Gourami
6 Platies
1 black molly
1 Gold Dust molly
4 Zebra Danios
1 Red swordtail
1 Rubber Pleco
-----------------------------------
35 gallon tank
2 AC 150s
Custom Bio Filter with sand and lava rock

I agree with the inch per gallon not being a very accurate. Each tank has it's own rules. Compatability and water conditions play a major role. If you have good filtration and plenty of water agitation or a lot of water surface, you can stretch the limits. Your choice of fish also play a major role. Some are swimmers and need a lot of space, others don't. If it is not heavally decorated you can add some more without problems. Depeding on the fish of course

mainly i just wanna add 1 or 2 more swordtails, but ill add a couple other fish if i got the room

I'd say go ahead and add away....I dont think your overstocked at this point....although I hope you have good filtration, I know you have a lot of fish that like to eat and like to poop there.....

In my 29 gallon planted tank I have
3 khuli loaches
3 female bettas
4 otto cats

my next step is probably going to be to add the following
4-5 khuli loaches
3-5 otto cats
12-20 ghost shrimp
and maybe 8-15 neon or cardinal tetras
