Overstocked?

[DirtyTankMan]

I have a 45 gallon tank with the following fish

3 bosemani Rainbowfish
6 neon tetras
2 black skirt tetras
2 rummys
2 harlequin rasboras
2 black phantom tetras
6 corys
2 ottos

I have a Rena xp3 filter that had 350 gph (more like 300 now)

I think your ok but you really need to fill in some schools.

Yeah I do... I always end up with the leftovers from my family's terrible tanks.. The rummys school with the neons usually and the rasboras and phantoms stick together. I want to set the skirts up in a different tank and then get six of each school and maybe one or two more rainbows. (I will Definetly be pushing it then)

I think you will be fine if you stay on top of your water changes. The smaller tetras have really low bioloads. (Rummies, Neons, Rasboras)

Agreed. I'm always sucking up a lot of poop from my Blood Parrots, Plecos, Angels, and big Catfish from my 150 but when I clean my 10 with neons and Guppies there's hardly any waste.
