Ok how about suggestions for an extremely well filtered 55 L gallon tank. Currently I have a 3 inch male convict, 2 inch female convict, 3 - 3 inch exodon paradoxus, 3 inch pictus, 3 inch pleco, and a 3 inch raphael. The tank seems extremely empty right now it is extremely stable and has plenty of hiding places.
 
I'd say its hard to filter such a small tank "extremely well", without either filling the tank with filter intakes or creating a mega current that your fish will constantly be battling against. I suppose 2-3 penguin mini filters would be as good as you could get.
 
yeah, probably is looking a little "empty" at this time... wait tll some of those guys put a little size on and then go from there... am hoping you realize that several of those guys will not stay tiny, right??

I realize that but they don't get huge either.
 
Wait till them cinvicts start breeding that'll fill the tank-Anne
 
I wouldn't add anything else to that aquarium. Your fish currently have plenty of swimming space. You want to avoid over-crowding your fish.

If you insist on adding more fish, I would have to say perhaps a few more bucktooth tetras.
 
Maybe one "little giant " gourami (Colisa fasciata), or one pearl gourami (Trichogaster leeri), they are both hardy, peaceful fish that don't get real big or cost very much. I wouldn't add much more than that.
