Will I Be Over Stocked.

[snowflake311]

Ok i'm slowly adding fish to my tank. I think I might be pushing it with the amount of fish.

55 gal planted sand bottom lots of rock hide outs. A Ehemi classic canister filter that's for a 93 gal tank. I do a 10-25% change every 5 days to a week.
So far it will be stocked with
Breeding pair of acara
1 medusa pleco
6 red eye tetra
5 pepper cory
2 julii cory

I want to get another julii and bring the numer of red eyes up to 8 or 10.

Do you think that's too much or just right ?

Or is it good as is?

Your fine to add more cories and a couple more tetras.

That is what I was thinking. But I like to see what others think so thank you .

i think that would be perfectly fine!
i do think your weekly water changes should be more along the lines of 20 - 25% rather than 10-25%!

In my 36 Gal I do a 45% water change weekly. But in the 55 gal I have been only doing a 10% just to get the poop I see up off the sand. I have been doing that every 2-3 days. But yes I should do a larger change every week.

Well then I will get one more Julii Cory today. I'm going to wait to get more red eyes.
