Wow Im not sure what to say it seems like allot of fish for that size of a tank but only you know your fish and if its working then it sound like most the fish are compatible how are the gouramis doing ?

Seems a bit over stocked, But not badly I would say. For the most part it seems fine but the pleco will probably get large and mean, so moving him out might be a neccesity later on. Also I believe that the giant danios are agressive as well. For the most part the guppy fry would be the most worrysome, depeneding on how old they are becuase they may become food for your other fish. But otherwise I would say it's managable you jsut might have to make a few changes down the road.

Do you know what the pleco is?

What ratio of livebearers do you have M:F

i bought the guppy fry and they big enough not to be eaten, 20p each and there beautiful guppies. i change my water regular to make sure my little overstocking wont become a problem. the giant danio is peaceful on his own i had 6 of them and they were always at each other. my zebra danio is 18 months now. oh an for other person asking about the gouramis i only have them 2 weeks so no problems as yet

Just keep your water clean and it will be great

 

[Ficious]

Yea I would say lose the lone danios but you've had the one for a while

 

[paudie22]

i try kee it 3 female livebearers to 1 male but at min its more 2:1
the pleco is just a common brownish pleco so will probably outgrow my tank and give me an excuse to buy a new 1

 

[lilfishie]

if its a common pleco you will need a very minimum of 4x2x2, 5x2x2 is better

u cant keep a single danio you need st least 4 to keep them happy together

i had 7 at one stage only reason im keeping that 1 is because its 1st fish i bought and still have it and if i buy more then i wont know the difference mite sound silly but ah well

 

[benmate]
