Overstocked or just right?

[HannahJo]

I do like getting everyone's feedback and opinions, so let me know what you think about how I have my 72G stocked. It doesn't feel overstocked to me but I'm still pretty new to this so what do I know?

8 platies (painted, red wag, sunburst, mickey mouse)
5 mollies (all dalmation)
25 tetras (half black & red neons- half neons)
2 bettas (mustard & veiltail)
2 BN plecos

Are all your livebearers a single gender or do you have some of both?

Platies are 2 male: 6 female & Mollies are 1 male: 4 female

Sounds good, as long as you realize that the platys/mollies will breed like rabbits. Hopefully your tetras will help keep the population down.
Other than that you sound good.

I was hoping most fry would not survive BUT if the tank starts to look over run- I know my favorite LFS will take extras so that's always an option!
Thanks for your feedback
