overstocked?

[BigLou]

10 gallon tank
aqua-tech 5-15 gal HOB filter
90 gph submersible filter
(overfiltered on purpose)

2 male platy
1 female platy
3 female dwarf platy
2 pair of fancy guppy
1 common pleco (1.5"-baby-will be moved once bigger)
4 pond snails
5 trumpet snails
10 ghost shrimp

I also have a lot of anacharis in the tank to help with the nitrates.

If you keep up with water changes it might be okay. The pleco will get to big even tho u already know that i just thought id remind you

I was once told to add an Inch for every Shrimp, Snail or Frog.

to me it looks over stocked, but hay so's mine so what do I know.

I'd say it was overcrowded, I wouldn't know about overstocked as I don't know the level of NitrAte (and phosphate) and how much it rises from w/c to w/c.

I did a pwc yesterday and tested it afterwards, and everything looks fine. But I did just add the fish yesterday after the water change too. So I'm keeping an eye on it.

You should be testing before the water change to monitor the rise of Nitrate between changes.
