I have a 100 litre tank but to be honest its never filled right to the top so lets say its 90. Now in the tank i have 1 killiefish of sumsort but im not sure wat hes called 2 b honest.. hes grows only to 2" though so hes small. 5 cardinal tetras, 10 bumblee gobys, 2 dwarf gouramis, 2 blue rams, 1 male fighter/betta, 4 almino/algae shrimp, 2 apple snails, 2 khuli loaches, 1 horse face loach and a hoplo catfish (4"). now before u all attack me at one lol im fully aware im overstocked but the question i want to ask is how overstocked am i? my waters been fine, looks crystal clean, no nitrites and no amonia. no fighting expect for my betta sumtimes chargin at the rams but i think this is because they r a new addition. so do you guys think im am toooooo overstocked? or jus a lil bit? n if i am realy overstocked would regular water changes help or is the main issue space for the fish themselvs as apose to water quality? i have loads of plants btw.. jus thought id add that lol thank you n il be waitin for some stockin advice :D
 
If you are properly prepared to overstock (larger filters, more waterchanges, etc) then your water stats will tell you how far you are overstocked. If you change your water and are showing say 20 nitrates and 2 days later you are showing 50 nitrates, then I would say that you are a bit too far over the edge unless you want to change your water every 2 days. Your filters would also most likely be "gunked up" alot making you clean your filters more often.
