Does anyone know of a site that lists the fish by how heavy a bio-load they are? [ie-kuhli loaches are very easy on the bio load. Bettas are a lot heavier etc] It would help a lot deciding between fish sometimes.

Caity's tank is a 10 gallon with filteration for a 15. 30% water changes weekly. Currently the tank contains 1 very laid back male betta. 2 kuhli loaches and a otto. She wants another otto and some zebra danios. I'm concerned about to much of a good thing. Will this be too big a load?

Today I asked my favorite fish guy how to count Kuhli's for my stocking limits are they 4" or can you count them as 2 because their so skinny? I was completely bumfuzzled when he told me "They don't count at all in a well aereated tank. As long as you keep up on your water changes. Bottom...
