Hey all,
I'm fairly new to the hobby, but so far have been enjoying it very much. I have a 55 gal. freshwater tank, and I was wondering how much capacity I have left, or if i'm already overstocked. The tank has been set up for about 3 months, and all nitrate/nitrite levels are extremely low, and everything else looks pretty good. The fish seem happy as well.
Currently, I have:
6 swordtails (3 are fry which I will be trading in when they get a little bigger)
2 Mollys
1 Pleco (about 5" long)
1 redtail shark
1 upside-down cat
5 kuhli loaches
8 neon tetras (could be 7, I haven't seen all 8 together for a few days)
I would like to get a couple more upside-down cats, but I just want to make sure I'll be ok. I have a fair amount of plants, and am using a penguin bio-wheel 350 filter as well as an airstone to keep thinkgs moving.
thanks for the advice!
