alright ive got a heavily planted 35g long tank with the following:
2 red bolivian rams
2 kribs
5-6 zebra danios
5 khuli loahces
3 oto's

i think thats about it.

am i overstoked, i change 20% of trhe water every week and i feed them normally once a day but will start feeding them twice a day in small portions to try to get some breeding. :thumbs:
 
If it's heavily planted, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The only way of telling if you're overstocked is by looking at the size of the fish. If the tank looks like there's no room for the fish to swim, it's time to get a larger tank. If not, then let them grow and it'll be fine.
 
i'd say you're far from fully stocked even as otos and kuhlis usually just hide during the day, therefore they don,t take room for the other fish. don't add anymore cichlids though but you could add some mid-top species like more danios if you feel there's room, tetras, gouramis, ... not sure how compatible they are with danios as i've never kept them though.
 
its not down to space in the tank... Aint it about the amount of waste they produce? Watch the Kribs with the rams cos when they start to breed the kribs will get well aggro...
