Tank too full?

[marge02144]

I have a 37 gallon tank. I want to stock it with 4 males, and 12 females. I also have a molly, two platies, and a zebra danio. Is this too much?

It would help to know what the male and females will be.

haha woops! i meant to say male and female guppies!

No, that's a lightly stocked tank for me XD

It will be soon considering on how much the guppies will reproduce, its always good to have a backup plan on what to do with the fry

Only 1 danio? Poor guy must be lonely... They love to race around tanks in groups of 6 or more.

Personally I'd say that's too many guppies... Even before they start having fry you're heavily stocked imo. I agree with the previous poster too on the fry issue, that tank will be busting at the seams from guppy fry in no time flat. I'd drop back on the numbers of guppies and either rehome or get some buddies for the danio. Fewer guppies would help limit how fast the guppies are dropping new babies on you too.

Sorry to jump in but I'm new to this and I just got my first fish tank and I need a lil help??

Kt23 - You'll get more help if you start your own thread with your questions rather than asking them in someone else's thread

Thank you so much guys! I talked to my LFS and they said they would purchase the fry!

 

[butterfly_koi]

That's always a good thing cash or store credit?

Guppies

Cash!

 

[butterfly_koi]

Even better! Mine does in store credit which I usually use to order fish
