Would This Be Overstocked?

[Nick Bramley]

i have a 90l/24g aquaone tank with a wet dry trickle filter system plus an external filter which ive added, cant remember the name but its a good size with three sponges in, i have a friend with these fish in a similar size tank and wondered if these amount of fish is would be ok for mine as hers looks great,

1 Plec
3 Cories
6 Mollies
2 Platies
3 glass ghost fish

also maybe a few Neon Tetras

any help would be mush appreciated

careful which plec you choose, they will quickly outgrow that set up

cant remember the actual name of the plec but i believe it only grows to about four inches max, thanks

IF the plec just gets 4" it'll probably be ok, but check check and double check before you get it.

I do think that's a bit over though, you should aim for 24" of fish as your tank is 24g at present your suggestion is

1 Plec - 4"
3 Cories - lets assume you get one of the smaller species, but you need to keep them in groups of 6+ so - 6"
6 Mollies - 18"
2 Platies - 4"
3 glass ghost fish - there's a couple of fish this could be, lets be kind and assume they're small - 3"

also maybe a few Neon Tetras - have to keep 6 so 6"

that's 35" without the neons so it's a bit over

mollies get a lot bigger than people think, even 3" is a relativley conservative estimate for them. and what glass fish are they, there's a few different things that could be described as that.

the glassfish ive been told grow no larger than 2"

the mollies ive always had havnt really grown much past two inches to be honest

thanks for your help
