Fish Over Hauling... Going to be Over Stocked?

[JesseMessykinn]

Going to Restock my tank.

29 Gallon Tank. Upgrading Filter x2 Gal Rating Thinking AC70?

6 Serpae Tetra
6-8 Neons
6 Glofish
1 Horseface Loach (Will Not Rehome)
5 Kuhli Loaches
1 Platy

Minor Planted Atm, Going to add more plants in Future.

Will that be to much Fish? Going to take PWC to 40-50% a week.

Yes that would be overstocked, IMO (the Loach puts you over). I also believe the Horseface Loach should be in a group of at least 3 from what I'm reading but you couldn't add more in a 29. Actually I'm reading they can grow up to at least 8" so your tank isn't going to hold the one you have for long either, sorry to say.

I like it without the horseface, as well.

Can you switch the horse face for something differant? Maybe a smaller pleco like bn or rubber lip. Or you could get a couple ottos

 

[librarygirl]

I"m not sure but it seems like the OP already has the Horseface (as it says "will not rehome" next to it)? If so then a much larger tank than a 29 is probably going to be needed.

Oh i understand. Ya then you are stocked on the bottom, but if its small you should be ok for a little bit

Hes only 5 Inches, Hes been that size for the past 2 years, hes my oldest fish. Ive had him for around 4 years. He Seems to do Fine in my tank. Loves to swim in the Bubbles, from the bubble rod.

Another Question, Will Having Snails, hurt my Stocking options?
