Is this overstocking ?

[cichlidthinker]

I currently have a 22 gallon tank with the following...



1x blue gourami

3x corydiras (swhartz)

7x cardinal tetra



What i want to do is get 3 more cardinals and 2 more corydoras



Tell me your opinion

Use AqAdvisor. Sounds got to me but I'm still a rookie.

That'd be fine, although I agree with others in your other thread that a honey or dwarf gourami would be more appropriate for that size tank.

I think you'll be fine adding those fish. The gourami will eventually get pretty big and might try to steal sinking wafers from the corys, but I don't think you'll be too overstocked

thats good , when i put it in aqadvisor it said 110 %, which is fine by me

So you real ease that with overstocking your tank you will have to do water changes very very very frequently. Test everyday. Have AT LEAST double filtration that you would already need. Plus the fish won't be as happy so they might not show as much color.

In my opinion AqAdvisor tends to be more on the conservative side. When stocking you can almost aim for a little over 100%. Just do slightly larger PWC's once a week. I usually do between 25% and 50% PWC's every week. Might want to see what others say about that though.

I do 35-40 % water changes and i really need a better filter for my tank truth be told, do any of you know of swordfish 200 is a good filter ? Please google it
