Do I need to increase stocking level in 30L nano tank?

[mechapos]

Hiya new to the community hoping you could help me with my first nano tank setup (used to much larger tanks). Heavily planted tank with a couple dozen amanos and rcs, a bamboo and a nerite, seeded from established large tank and running well and happily for about a month, once a week with an all in one liquid fert I've alwas had succes with.
Got in the two crypts (one at the back from tissue culture), repens, betta and a madagascar lace bulb yesterday.

With this set up, against my plans, should I increase my stock? Mainly because I hear the lace plants are nutrient sponges and I'll only feed my betta 4-6 pellets with no waste most days so no extra waste source. I was thinking 6 pygmy cories wouldn't bother Sanchez. Am I over thinking it? Thanks

I would not increase stocking in lieu of using fertilizer. That's a very roundabout way to address those needs and come with other sorts of organic waste that will encourage algae and make your life more difficult. If your plants are hungry, add a little fertilizer.

I would not put any other fish in with that Betta.

Is the tank a 30cm cube? If so that would approximately equate to 20l of water after hardscape displacement and as such I would certainly not add any more fish. Stick with what you have and use a comprehensive fertilizer to feed the plants.
