Am I Overstocked

[MrLiam]

I have a aqua one 620t in it i have 4 cory, 1 otto, 2 glow light tetras, 2 guppies, 1 balloon molly, 1 swordtail, 5 danios, 1 male betta and a threadthin rainbow. Is it over stocked and can i put a shoal of 6 - 10 small tetras.

 

[lilfishie]

before adding another shaol you should sort out the current fish

the cory, otto, glow light tetras, and threadthin rainbow all need to be in groups of 6, ideally the danios too

what sex are the guppies?

 

[MrLiam]

The guppies are male. But will i be able to put them in to the groups and not be overstocked.

 

[lilfishie]

how many liters/gallons is it?

^^ Sadly not.

I would say that you aren't overstocked. But as lilfishie said you really should address your current stocking before adding more species to the tank.

If it were my tank I'd definitely rehome a few of the odd fish that should be kept in groups such as glo lights and rainbow fish. I'd also be tempted to rehome the swordfish and molly.

Then I'd up the numbers of the rest of the fish to bigger group sizes.

I was going to rehome the molly and the swortail and the threadthin at the weekend any way. It is 130 litres aswell.

 

[Curiosity101]

I googled it and found it listed as 90 litres..?

 

[MrLiam]

that is the 620 i have the tall version

 

[Curiosity101]

Ah! That makes more sense.

Well then you're definitely not overstocked. I'd still rehome the fish you said you wanted to rehome. But if you wanted to keep the glo lights then You've got plenty of room to up all your shoalers to groups of 6 or so

Ok then thanks for your help.
