Max Stock?

[evilchild]

at the moment i think may tank is quite well stocked, but i would like a bit more colour in the tank do i could add a few more smaller fish or do you think it's close to it's max?

i have to following in 120lt tank
4x tiger barb's
3xgreen tiger barbs
4x black neon tetra's
1x plec
1X sailfin mollies (f/m)
2x cory cats (bronz)
6xharlaquins
1xreed fish
2x gold rams
1X rosey barb

as i said i think it's quite well stock but all the fish are happy and live togeather with no real problems. (so far, lol)

the reed fish needs a 55gallon+
plec wil need a much larger aquarium if it is a common plec etc!

i would say overstocked if anything!

Do you know what kind of plec you have? If its a common one then I would try and rehome that before adding new fish (same for reedfish - they like to be in groups also). I'm afraid with 120 litres you are limited on space, I would add more corys though if you had to add more fish.

depends on the plec

remmeber you need to work it out on maximum size not current size.

it's just about full but unless the plec is one of the larger species then i wouldn't say it's significantly overstocked. don't wanna put much more in like but it's not drastic

i think it's Leopard Sailfin Pleco? so i was right it is very close to it's limit. just what i thought. when i brought the reed fish i didn't know much about them, wont make that mistake again.

just a quick note the tank is very well filter at the mo, i know that wont make differance to the stock leavles but at the less the waters good?

plec and reed fish have to go !!

some reed fish can reach up to 90cm!!!!
