I have a 10 gallon 5 week old tank. It's cycled and my levels are always pretty good (ammonia and nitrite 0, nitrates 10). However, I know that it is overstocked by most standards. I didn't do this on purpose, I just took advice from a woman at my lfs and realized later it was too much. BUT, my levels are good and my fish seem alright. I'm looking for feedback as to if I should be concerned/if it is okay, and if not, what solutions you may suggest. Do I need to figure out something to do with some of my fish, should I add another filter, etc.
I have a 10 gallon, planted, with a Whisper 10i filter. I have one male betta, 9 neon tetras, and 3 Kuhli loaches. I vacuum and change 25% water at least once a week. I also add a liquid plant food 2x weekly and liquid carbon daily. I have noticed some clear/whitish slime build up on the suction cups around my filter. Could this be a side effect?
Any feedback is appreciated
