Am I Overstocked?

[Dano83]

My tank has been stocked for a week now and just want to make sure I am not overstocked. I am not getting any more.

I am running two aqua-clear 50 filters on the 29 gallon tank.
My stocking list is: 8 giant danios, 6 black skirt tetras & 1 dwarf pleco

Looks reasonable to me, dependant upon which actual species of plec you have.

Number of fish is fine, but Giant Danios love a good upper water current in a 22+C long tank, at least 4-foot (like Zebra Danios), but 5-foot or longer is better as they get bigger. These are pretty active fish that should reach at least 10cm, like my Barilius.

I have a rubberlip dwarf pleco. I will be setting up another 55 gallon in April should they be fine until then?

Is the Rubberlip Pleco (Chaetostoma spp.) new? Do you know what species it is (there are well over 40-odd and rising)? http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=26 Very specialist conditions are needed for these catfish and are known to be hard to get feeding when new, because they start shutting down during the transportation process when collected from shallow turbulent steams/rivers around Colombia.

What size are these Giant Danios at the mo, including their tail?

What are the dimensions of this 29g?

He kind of look like this: http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/_species.php?species_id=2437
But he's more white.


The the biggest danio is about 2 inches and the others are 1 1/2 inches
Also the tank measurements are: 30 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 18 3/4
