Is My Tank Overstocked ?

[jetnett]

Hello I recently bought a second hand tank. it is 4 ft 120 cm long 45 cm in height and 32 cm wide I work that out as a 160 litre tank ?
The tank came with fish and I had some fish from my small tank.
I added some new fish over the wknd and has now been told by a member on here that it is over stocked. Not sure how you work it all out.
some more advice needed please. I will list my fish
1 Male Betta
1 female german blue ram
1 clown loach about  7 cm came with tank has been that size for 1 year so not sure if it will grow any bigger
5 neon tetras
5 rummynose tetras
2 small cory catfish
3 female platies
2 sailfin mollies not sure if they are male or female
then 2 very small mollies they are a new breed of molly called gold doubloon not sure how large they will grow
Thank you jeanette

I would say no
BUT
Your clown loach will need to be rehomed as most will say that a 160 liter is too small for a clown loach. If you get rid of that loach you could get more tetras for a bigger school which they'll like. The cories too.

I thought so too after reading topics on here that my tank is too small for a clown loach I didn't buy it it came with the tank. He/she is such a nice fish not so big but will it get bigger ?
would love to keep it but for the well being of the fish I guess he/she has to go. so if i sell him/her what tank size does he/she need to go into ?

 

[TallTree01]

I'd say at least 75 gallons preferably 100.
He will not get bigger but only as a result of stunting which isn't too good I'm afraid. If he was in a bigger tank he could get up to about a foot.

Using the calculator on this forum, your  L 120 x W 32 x H 45 is 173 litres or 46 US Gals.
 
So that may help you decide a bit better on stocking numbers.

you will have to watch out for the german ram, there specific with with water quality, as for the betta you might have to watch it, they can esily be aggresive.
