Will I Be Overstocking?

[techen]

I have two corys and 5 neon tetras. I plan to add another 5 neons, 4 corys and 6 kuhlis loaches. Will these be okay in a 200L tank? or not.

 

[SombreroBanana]

Yep, that's fine.

 

[techen]

Yep, that's fine.

Thank you, they will get along with each other right?

 

[Tuxyu3]

Far from overstocked, they should get along fine.

They should all get along okay and they won't be too much for a 200L tank.

My only concern might be that the cories and khulis are both bottom dwellers, so space on the bottom might be an issue.

Would having a few caves and lots of hiding places fix that ? Am guessing they'll claim caves and such for themselves.

I have a 180 litre tank with Cory's and Kuhli's, they get along fine. You should definitely add as many hidey-holes as possible.

Thank you Tux, I'll look at getting a few caves and holes set up.

A lot of hiding places for the khuli loaches, it makes them braver and come out more often. I wouldn't worry mixing two bottom species together, just make sure you feed them all well so everyone gets a share. I've got 13 corys, 5 clown loaches, 1 big pleco and 10-12 platies in the same tank. All of them feed at the bottom including the greedy platies and I've no problems at all. No food left overs either and I overfeed.
