i came across this "formula" for how to calculate the right number of fish for your tank. it took me a few minutes to work it out because it's in metric... but basically it said i should have 9 fish.
therefore according to the formula i'm already overstocked. i have:
2 cory's
3 oto's
6 cardinals
2 rams
i don't think i'm overstocked at all but i'm curious what others think about this "formula"...

Length of tank * Width = Water surface area / 40 cm (standard) Now, divide the size, or the average, of the fish you want to add.
Example:
90(cm)* 35 (cm) = 3150(cm2) / 40 = 79 / 5(cm) = 15 fish.
