Which fish to move or add??

[prrashh]

I know I've got way too many fish in my tank (u can see em in my sign.), so I decided to get another tank and move some of em. Which fish should I move into the new tank?
I was planning to move all the tetras into the new tank. So that will leave my old tank with 3 platies and 2 cories, can I add any more fish to either of the tanks??

any thoughts??

That sounds ok to me.

I think you have an ok number of fish for a 10 but not in terms of numbers per species. If I were you, I would set the tanks up like this:
#1
6 neon tetras
3 beunos aires
2 cories

#2
5 serpaes
3 black tetras
3 platies
2 cories

Your fish will be much happier in larger schools and consequently, they will also be funner to watch since they're more comfortable. Besides, most of these fish look much better in schools.

I agree with fishy, the neons are schooling fish and will never be happy with just 1 friend. Same for your other tetras.

Ok this is what I think

#1
4 Platies (1 male & 3 female)
6 Neon or 3 Guppies (or any other livebearers)
2 Cories

#2
2 Buenos Aires tetras
2 Serpae
4 black neon
2 Cories

I have 2 regular cories, shud i get julius cories for the new tank?

You can see my current set ups from my signature, what else can I add?
Is the set up in my previous post ok or too many fish??

The one in your previous post sounds great. Be sure to give everybody some buddies, the more the better so you might want to add maybe 1 more serpae to the 10 w/ the beunos aires and the black neons. Get whatever cories you like. Its up to you, there are a ton of kinds of em. So I assume you're trading in your black tetra?

The one black tetra I have is a black neon tetra, sorry for the misunderstanding....
I'll have to get him/her more buddies, how can I know the sex in tetras?
