Adding Sae's

[srolfe]

I am thinking about adding 4 Siamese Algae Eaters to my 36G Tank to help control Fuzz Algae.

I currently have 36 fish

10 neon tetra
6 black neon tetra
3 black tetra
6 red minor tetra
5 blue tetra
6 peppered cory

The question I have is whether adding more fish would overstock this tank?

The tank is well planted with 3.33 wpg and is co2 injected

Yeah i wouldn't go adding more fish into that tank. Your at full capacity at the moment. SAE grow pretty big about 3-4inches if i can remember correctly.

Whats your lighting, ferts, plant biomas like?

I added some SAE's and they grew huge in a few months.
They are esaily 4 inches long.

I'd say definitely not as potentially you're adding 4, 5" fish to the tank.
