My Tank

[A creature void of form]

Hello,

I have a 15 gallon tank, with a few different species of fish and 4 friendly Crustaceans. Here's what I'm looking after:

* 2 x Neon Blue Dwarf Gouramis (3")
* 8 x Cardinal Tetras (1")
* 3 x Black Phantom Tetras (1")
* 4 x Amino Shrimps (1.5")

Am I at capacity, overstocked, room for more?


It's a quite heavily planted tank, with a few caves and a sand substrate. I have a fairly good filter for a 15G and the tank was fishless cycled 2 months ago. I do a 20% water change every week.

I thought my 20 gallon tank was overstocked and I have fewer fish than you do. I would say you are done adding fish.

I like your fish selection.

Ah, cool - I thought that might be the case.

Just out if interest, do my Shrimps count towards the stocking? I've read somewhere that they don't.

Unless you have a squillion shrimp then generally the smaller shrimps aren't counted in the final bioload count I'd be inclined to stop adding any more fish though...you've got a good head count there for a tank of that size
