I have a 55 (long) gallon aquarium and I was wondering if my tank if possibly overstocked? I work with the manager at a local fish store when I was coming up with stocking ideals for my 55 gallon (I also have a 10 gallon but that's for my Betta).
She tells me I'm not overstocked but lately the reason I'm wondering is, is because my 55 never seems to be crystal clear or clear it always looks a little hazy.
I take my water in for daily water checks and the levels always check out in range (I haven't been able to the past couple of days because the fish store temp closed due to the virus going around.)
I also do water changes partial every two weeks.
Tank:
QuietFlow LED Pro 75 Aquarium Power Filter
Length: 55.38 IN
Height: 22.63 IN
Width: 14.5 IN
Here's what I have in the tank:
- 2 Dojo Loaches
- 1 Black Kuhli Loach
- 1 Pictus Catfish
- 1 CometGoldfish
- 1 Fantail Goldfish
- 4 Black Neon Tetras
- 3 Serpae Tetras
- 3 Albino Tiger Barbs
- 3 Cherry Barbs
- 3 Platy Fish
- 1 Small Common Pleco(I was also looking into getting a ropefish.)
