Hey everyone
Just wondering if my tank is over stocked
I have a 60g tank :
Fish
2 bala
3 rosealine sharks
1 flying fox fish
16 neon tetras
6 phantom tetras
11Cory's
2 clown plecos
1 hill stream loach
6 clown loaches
The tanks has been running for 1 1/2 months and everything has been checked by a professional for all levels and everything is fine. There are many hiding places for each of the bottom feeders so there hasn't been any aggression shown from any fish
Please let me know
Thanks
 
I believe the bala sharks will get too big with all those other fish but I am not 100%. Not to mention that a 60g is hardly room for 1 or 2 clown loaches let alone 6 and a community.
 
Ya I know
I didn't research before I bought them but I figure I have at least a year before I need to upgrade the tank which I will be doing be matter what.
But in regards to the overstocking... Is it ok and manageable?
 
Anything is OK if you have a big enough tank. But at you current state without knowing the exact size off all your fish. I would say yes you are over stocked.
 
The fish are all small right now
All babies when I purchased them
The largest is the flying fox at about 6-8 inches
 
Way, way, way overstocked!
 
Return all of your fish but these:
16 neon tetras
6 phantom tetras
11Cory's
2 clown plecos
 
Everything else is too big!
