Is my aquarium overstocked2007-11-24 23:37:25

Your nitrites spiked because your bioload is way too big. Get rid of the fish I mentioned, let your tank settle, and then add the couple of cories. 15 gallons is not much to work with. If you really want a gourami, settle for a dwarf gourami, the other species are all too big. Good luck and I hope the fishies make it.

thats way to many fish and they are going to end up dieing just to let you know

---

Yes you have way to many fish!!

---

yes,your OS

get rid of the glass fish,the gouramis and the pleco(probably common which need aboiut 125 gals each)

then you will be ok as long as you get rid of the fry.

Normally I'd say saying if you are over stocked is more complex that just how many fish are in you tank. The neons, and guppy alone would likely put you near the limits of your tank. Normally the rule of thumb it's one inch of fish per gallon for slim bodied fish. So with this rule you have x2-x5 your tanks capacity. (Depending if you count current or adult sizes.) You've got more fish than my 30 gallon tank that I feel is pushing the limits of it's bio-load, and I've got much better filtration than you.
