Is my tank overstocked?

smackitsakic · Jan 1, 2021

Hi everyone, I've been working on stocking my 50 gallon tank over the past couple of months. I'm curious on quantity of the above. Is this overstocked? I'm running a double filter setup with a AquaTech 30-60 and a Penguin Biowheel 150. Can they keep up to this?

I know the compatibility isn't perfect; some of this is as best as I can get right now given that I'm a few hours away from my nearest LPS and some of these have been re-homed and will eventually move along to a new home once I find spots for them.

Tanks not overstocked but has you say there is compatibility issues.

Firstly the guppies are the odd group out being hardwater fish so depending on how hard/soft your water is some fish will suffer long term. Do you know your water hardness at all?

Secondly you may have problems with the blood parrot as it grows. They tend to eat what can fit in their mouths so your Neons and the guppies may become in danger of being lunch

Ive seen one devour a Rainbow shark on the net
