Hi Guys, I have a feeling that I am over stockes, you can see in my signature what I have.

Your thoughts are appreciated

By the way i have a 65 litre tank. It is an Aqua one tank, model Aquamode 600
 
yeah that's about 18 us gallons, so you need to aim for 18" of fish

you currently have

5 Tetra Neon's - 5"
2 Peppered Cory Cat's - 4"
3 Julii Cory Cat's - 6"
1 Guppy - 1"
1 Angel - 5"
2 Ancistrus - 6"
2 Bolivian Rams - 6"
1 Red Tailed Black Shark - not sure on the size.... but your already well over without it.

you probably have double the fish in there you should have, angels need a 40g min tank that's 18" deep so you need to re-home that.

i'm fairly sure the rtbs gets too big for your tank but do some research

i think you could get away with

5 neons
2 peppered cories
3 julii cories
2 bolivian rams

that's still overstocked but as it's spread around the different areas of your tank it should be ok
 
The red tailed shark will get 4-6" I've seen those aqua one tanks. The shark won't be very happy there, theres not much room for him to move around and they can get very aggressive.

I only got the Angel as my girlfriend liked him. I knew i would have to re-home him as they grow pretty big. My tank is quite deep because fo the design of it. I kinda thought as the bottom feeders are on the bottom and the other fish are in the mid section that i would be ok, but obviously not.

If i got a bigger filter would that help the probelm or is it just a queston that there isnt enough room for all the fish?
 
Not Really it would help a little in your stocking but what I suggest is.
Getting Rid of the angel, shark, ancistrus and rams. Then adding 2 pepper corys and 1 julii. You Could Add an Apistogramma Cacatuoides if you like.
 
yeah better filtration can leave you the opportunity to overstock slightly, but your well over those limits i'm afraid. your really gonna have to cut down on fish :/



or justget a second tank :D
