[noobaquarists]

hi guys when i got my 29g tank a cpl months ago it was overstocked so i got rid of a bunch of fish and just want to see if my tank is too crowded now heres my fishie list
2 striped raphael catfish between 3 and 4.5 inches
1 pleco around 7.5 inches (leaving as soon as i find a home for him)
1 flying fox around 3-3.5 inches
2 fancy black goldfish around 2 inches
3 guppies (leaving in a month)
2 harlequin raspboras around an inch
2 albino corycats about an inch
1 balloon molly (pregnant thinking of leaving fry in tank as snacks for other fishies)
2 hybrids (silver molly and some sort of swordtail) around an inch
2 marimo moss balls and a clump of hornwort

Short answer yes. Still very over stocked.

what else would you get rid of?

The rapheal cats and the goldfish for starters, then bump up the tetra schools to say 6?

2 striped raphael catfish between 3 and 4.5 inches IM FAIRLY SURE THEY NEED A BIGGER TANK.
1 pleco around 7.5 inches (leaving as soon as i find a home for him) THATS GOOD!
1 flying fox around 3-3.5 inches HES FINE
2 fancy black goldfish around 2 inches THESE TWO FISH STICK YOUR TANK JUST BY THEMSELVES. THEY NEED COOLER WATER THAN THE TROPICALS TOO.
3 guppies (leaving in a month)
2 harlequin raspboras around an inch THESE NEED A SCHOOL OF 6+
2 albino corycats about an inch THESE NEED A SCHOOL OF 6+
1 balloon molly (pregnant thinking of leaving fry in tank as snacks for other fishies) FINE
2 hybrids (silver molly and some sort of swordtail) around an inch FINE
2 marimo moss balls and a clump of hornwort

goodness! over stocked for sure!
1. those 2 "fancy black goldfish" are black Moors. they need 29g alone AT LEAST!!! with at least 300gph of filtration with weekly water changes
2. you need to get rid of fish ASAP... LIKE TODAY IN MY OPINION
3. those fish need all different water temps
4. what are your water parameters and temp?
5. what type of filteration do you have on that tank
6. some of your fish are schooling fish and need groups of at least 5+

if you can up the schools and rehome the pleco and catfish then get another tank (30g) for the goldfish. Might have to rehome some of the mollies.

That's great your keeping on top of your water changes! 80F is a little bit too warm for them all. Try drop it to 76-78F. The goldies will need at tank at 68-72F.

No. Mollies are high waste producers and 5.5g isn't big enough for anything more than one Betta sorry.
