Why do you feel its overstocked, i thought that it was about 1" of fish per gallon ?
all the fish are around the 3/4" to 1" mark , don't forget that the CAE is now gone.
Fish grow. Zebra danios, for instance, can reach up to 2" when fully grown, perhaps a little larger - I don't know about gold barbs, but I'd imagine they'd be over an inch, perhaps as much as two. That's up to sixteen inches of fully-grown fish.
Oops
i was told they grow to 3/4 to 1 inche
Cheers people
maybe i'll stop at the 4 barb 1 zebra then
they seem happy enough
