Im just wondering how many fish can i fit in this tank its a 155lt tank and its 3 foot wide and this is how many fish i have in it right now.
1x Silver Dollar
2x Pearl Gourami (Getting Ride Of My Large One)
3x Marble Angelfish (Got A Really Big One I Do Not Wont But Do Not Know What To Do With It?)
1xSalfin Molly
2x Dalmatian Molly
2x Tiger Barbs
2x Guppies
1x Silver Shark (That Is Quite Large But Love
1x Rainbow Shark
5x Black Widow Tetra's
2xSwordTales
5xNeon Tetra
1x Gold Gourami
1x Clown Loach

Tell Me How Much More Fish I Can Fit In It Please And I Just One To Get Like A 20LT Tank Just For Heaps Of Neons Will This Work? The Only Reason I'm Asking This Is To See If I Can Add A Pair Of Discuses And 3 More Clown Loach's Or Pleco's And They Will Be My Last Fish, and im hoping that i might even squeeze in 15 more neon tetra's :S just so that it gives it alot better look
 
I'm not clued up on all of the fish but I would say that you are overstocked.
Clown Loach - grow to 12" and need a lot bigger tank, they also prefer to be kept in groups.
Tiger Barbs - also best kept in groups of at lest 6.
Silver Shark - I think they also need to be kept in bigger tanks.
Angelfish - Not sure what tank size they need but they will probably end up eating your neons as this is their diet in the wild.

Maybe someone can help with your other fish.
As for a 20ltr to put tetras in, I wouldn't recommend it as they like plenty of swimming space. :/

tigerbarbs need to be in groups of 6 min to stop them fin nipping and being aggressive to other fish.
Clown loach need to be in groups (allthough my loach is ok and has the tiger barbs as his extended family)
swordtails= what sex have you got?
Im affraid i dont know much about the other fish
but i would suspect you wouldnt be able to put many more fihs esp clown loaches of plecos
 
my sword tale's are both opposite sex and one is pregnant no fish shop will exept my fish so what should i do just put the ones that aren't going to like the tank down?
 
Lol Sorry just had to type really fast becuase i had to go to the john well i live in Australia and the only other thing i could do with my other fish are put it in a bathtub that is a pond in the backward that has lilys and only goldfish but its pretty cold in the night out there, so what do you think i should do with the fish

Not to/ put them in the pond :crazy:

I can imagine australian ponds are prob warmer than here in the uk but i would suspect the fish would die.

U can allways return some of the fish to your local fish shop (lfs)

But before you do that give it a few more hours so ppl can post on here as there are alot of knowledagble ppl here and they will be able to advise you better than i can
 
I wouldn't put them outside, they are tropical fish and need warmer temperatures.
You could try advertising them and see if someone will take them off your hands.
 
ok thnx for the help guys i got the fish shop owner to come down to have a look and he said the more fish you have in the tank the less they will grow and thats what I'm hoping for.

Yes thats true
its called stunting the fish an is seen as animal cruelty here.

what u got to think about is how would you like to be living in your garden shed with 4 other ppl untill u die... wonderfull exp
 
That's not actually a good idea, it means stunting their growth!
This could lead to all sorts of problems and really isn't fair on the fish. :no:
 
yes true well one of my angelfish just died it got his head stuck in the filtre and he was lost i tried saving him im really really upset now :(
