You DO have way too many fish in that tank. You should take everything but the cories and the neons back to the store. 5 angel fish in one tank is a disaster waiting to happen. As I said before your clown loaches reach a foot in length, and keeping multiple gouramis together in such a small tank is always bad as well. The danios may be ok to keep with the cories and neons , but I think even that over acceeds the 1" per gal limit (which you should never follow). Unless you fix this problem you're going to be posting on this board more often than you really plan on. They may be small now but they all get MUCH bigger (aside from the neons, danios and cories). The crabs will probably eat the smaller fish. Always do research before you commit to something.

I know that my tank is WAY overcrouded! I do tank cleanings twice a week to help make up for this until I am able to get a larger tank. Livebearers breed like crazy!

Just added a trap door snail, I already forgot the name of another snail I got and my LFS added a baby apple snail by accident.

I wonder how long it will take them to get over 1" .

Btw targa; a .75g pico tank? How cool!! How hard is it to keep up with water parameters?

 

[Allivymar]

Also, I agree with cdawson; your tank is really overcrowded 3Corsameal. While your tank is UK gallons which are larger, you still only have a 15g tank if we talk about it in US gallons (we usually are talking US gallons here).

Angelfish are recommended to have about 10g each (plus theres a good chance they'll wind up eating the neons; they eat em in the wild), clown loaches will need a lot of room as well as they can get to be about 12 inches long, and the pearl gouramis also get pretty big. IMHO, I'd return the gouramis and the crab (who most likely will also chow down on the small fish); get a 55g tank for the clowns and angelfish. Then you could even add another clown, as they should be in groups of at least 3.

Just a FYI:
UK gallons = 4.55 liters
US gallons = 3.79 liters

 

[Capt.Gorilla]

Uhh, after watching my new snails, do they try to escape?
My tank has no top and I cought one out of the water.

 

[coolkidthatlike]

this is a cool thread, i think we should sticky it. it is really fun reading what is in y0ur tanks. Am i ok on the overcrowding front??? (i am thread starter) I know my pleco will get huge, but i plan to trade him in at the lfs for a smaller one when he gets too big.
