is my tank fully stocked?

[menace71]

hi all, this question has probably been asked a million times but im new to the hobby and just dont know what rule to follow. i currently have a roma 240 with a fluval 306 filter running my current stock is 2 platty's, 2 bnpleco's, 5 xray tetras,4 dwarf gourami's and 4 bolivian rams. i do 2 partial water changes per week at 10% to 15% each time and my water params are ph 7.6 low range 7.4 high range, ammonia 0, nitrite o and nitrates 5/10 ppm.

No your tank isn't near being fully stocked

thanks for the reply perry and also for the link, looks like i might spend a bit of time working my stock levels out on it.

Aqadvisor is a good guideline resource to start with but some of it's advice can be wrong so it should be coupled with additional research.

A Roma 240 is 240 liters, not gallons, which is about 65 US gallons. You have some room for more fish, but don't go overboard
