Would this be an overstocked tank

[fishboy 1077]

I have a 15 gallon tank with 3 platies in it (one male two females) would this tank be over stocked if I put

5 long finned danios

5 long finned zebra danios

In the tank as well thanks in advance ?

Zebras are extremely active, if you got a 20 long you could do that stock!

Ok they are in a 20 right now but I wanted to use my 20 for something else also I think I will put my platies in my 55 gallon and I will put the danios in the 15

The danios need 20g or more

Really but they are only 1 inch each

That doesn't matter. They are highly active and need a large ammount of swimming space

Ok they are doing just fine in my 20 so I will keep them in there for now

Is it a 20g long? They are 30" long

This is a perfect example of why the one inch per gallon rule is not always applicable. Danios are spaz's balls, mine are all over the place. 10 celestial pearl danios in a 15? I'd say go for it, 10 zebras.... Mehh nottasomucha.
