Overstocked For A 10 Gallon?

[GobyMaster]

Is this overstocked for a African Dwarf Frog Community Tank (10 Gallon 20x10x10")?

5x African Dwarf Frogs
3x Khuli Loach
1x Dwarf Neon Blue Gourami
1xBristlenose Plecostomus

So, overstocked??

The tank it's set up yet, so the plan can be easily changed.

i wouldn't have the plec otherwise all good IMO

 

[GobyMaster]

Okay, so do you have any ideas for an algae eater??

[afishdude]

y not the plec? i would say the plec would be fine.

 

[divisible by zero]

I swear i read 1 ADF per 5 gallons.

 

[GobyMaster]

I think the reason lilfishie said no plec is because they are crapping machines and maybe she thinks a 10 doesn't have adequate filtration??
Who knows.
I'm open to suggestions,

Edit 1: @divisible by zero: You're thinking African Clawed Frogs. African Dwarf Frogs only need 1 gallon per frog

 

[afishdude]

what filter are you planning on using?

 

[lilfishie]

not just because of there messy ness but the fact that they can reach 6", i had 1 in a 15 gal but moved him as i felt it was too small, but by all means if you have good filteration i don't see why one would be a problem, or you could always have ottos if its algae eaters you want

 

[GobyMaster]

Probably a Whisper In-Tank Filter. It's the same one I had in my other 10 gallon. I just hope it won't suck up some sand. . . .
I'll look into the Ottos!

[lilfishie]

just be careful if you go with ottos, heard there hard to get on food other than algae, thinking of trying a few myself in the future

 

[GobyMaster]

Yeah, and don't ottos like being kept in groups?
I think my tank's almost pushing it with the inhabitants so far, so I think I'll stick with the Bristlenose.
I might get some ottos in the 45 I'll be getting.

yer they prefer to be in groups, i have been told i can have 5 in my 15 with 4 female bettas and 3 neons and a shrimp

I would say no khuli loaches because its takes a while before an adf notices theres food and the food will definitly be eaten by the khulis by then.

Huh?? I've kept Khulis with some ADFs before, and the frogs typically find the food first as the loaches are nocturnal.

Get nerite snails or apple snails for algae, amano shrimps are good for string type algae.
