Stocking help

[Ronson00]

Am curious if my new tank is over stocked?



Tank Setup:

Tank-150 gallon 72x18x28

Filters-2 Eheim 2217's

Heaters- 2 300w heaters, 1 200w

Plenty of bubbling decoration including air stones, led bubble lights, and a large bubble curtain

Running a 9w UV sterilizer.

Two large pieces of driftwood and lots of other hiding places.



Fish Stock:

10 small Tiger Barbs 1/2in tops

1 Albino Chinese Algae eater 7in

1 Pangasius Catfish ~3in

1 Rubber Lip Pleco ~3in

1 Twig Catfish ~5in

5 Red Wag Platy's 1in

4 Black Ruby Barbs 2in

10 assorted neons/glolights/black neons 1in

2 marbled crayfish 3in



I have three other tanks to move stock to if over stocked. Ranging from 45gal-75gal. Also stocked but some things moved into this larger tank because it's the most visible.

Everything else is okay but the pangasius catfish, AKA id shark. It will get very large, well over a couple feet, thus eating about all of your tank occupants. I would recommend you take the Id shark back to your local fish store because he will outgrow your tank. The Chinese algae eater may get aggressive , possibly killing some other fish. But it seems since he is seven inches and peaceful, you may be fine with him.

I like the Id sharks movement in the tank right now since he is small. If it becomes an issue in the future I can move him to my pool turned pond project that I will be doing this summer.
