Hi my angel fish have just laid eggs so I have transfered some eggs to a breeding net. But I already have about 30 baby cory fry (26 days old) in another breeding net. I have a new tank set up for the corys to go into when they are a bit bigger (125 litres) but depending on how many angel fish hatch and survive I am worried about overcrowding either of my tanks, my other established tank is 180 litre with approx 15 fish in it. Any views on this, appreciate any help.
 
I agree with the above posts. Different fish have different needs and different bio loads, 14 Danios and a Betta would be fine compability wise and bio load wise, but the temperature differentials would be what fines an unbalanced, or overstocked tank. My idea of an overstocked tank Would be too many top, bottom, mid, etc. dwelling fish, or too many fish in general. While an unbalanced stock tank would be schooling fish in too low numbers, incompatible fish, fish with different temperature requirements, etc.
 
What are these 15 fish?



Hi the fish I have in the tank are 5 bronze corys, 3 angel fish, 2 clown loach, 1 platy, 1 black tetra, 1 orange sucker (not sure of name)he is about 2 inches long and cleans everything in sight, 1 pleco

and in the breeding net there are 30 bronze cory fry, and now possibly 20 angel fish in the other breeding net (eggs haven't hatched yet)

I was gonna put the cory fry into the new tank (125 litre) and have just them in there, what do you think is it too many, especially if I have to put in some angel fish as well now, again only if they hatch and survive.
