Would This Be Overstocked?

[windhopper]

Hey all, i've got a juwel rekord 800 (110 litres) and ive been planning what to stock it with, currently its got 6 minnows and 5 guppies. My final list is:

WCMM: have 6 may get a few more
Guppies: Have five (will not get more as guppies are guppies)
German Blue rams: Would like to get a pair
Sterbai Corydoras: Would like to get a group maybe 6
Emperor Tetras: Again would like a shoal maybe 6 or so.

Do people think this would over stock the tank? Or would it be alright?
Thanks, Jorel

Have a look at the community creator on thinkfish.co.uk

if using think fish, half there reccomended stocking level , if its a new tank with a smaller filter

The thinkfish community creator thinks I can put 99" of fish in my 125L tank so probably isn't the best LOL

To the OP while I don't know how much bioload the rams will have I personally don't think you'd be too bad with your plans.

Looks ok to me, not overstocked providing you stock with the new fish slowly, have good filtration and keep up a good water change regime, I also suggest adding the rams last as they prefer a more mature tank.

The filter is an internal one that is santard with the tank, it looks like its quite strong and the fish have learned to avoid it or risk sticking to it lol.Thanks and will add the rams in last

As for that stocking calculator it reckons i can double up everything i had in mind - somehow i think the fishes maybe abit cramped if i followed that, especially as the guppies will be guppies and multiply anyway lol. Thanks again everyone

Where does it say that? It might be an new tank with an external

if its new then it wont be as stable as a maturer tank, and it over exaggerates stocking

and over stocking is the biggest cause of ammonia spikes

It's OK - mermaids are ageless...

Edit: and (barring the risk of water-wrinkles from always having one's head in various tanks,) doesn't the moisture help keep you youthful?
