uhm. yeah.. i'd say overcrowded. very overcrowded.

but on another note, how do your silver sharks get along with your tetra and angelfish? or do all your fish pretty much hide and frantically dart around because of the overcrowding?

Er, yes, overcrowded. You have 69 fish in a 30 gallon tank. That is grossly overstocked. Many of those fish will outgrow that tank. Many of those fish would prefer a larger school. I'll say that those fish would be overstocking a 100 gallon tank at maturity.

I agree. I wouldn't even keep the 4 angels alone together in a 30g.
I would get rid of all these fish or buy them a bigger tank....think along the lines of at least 75g just for these.

3 angels(keep 1)
2 clown loach
2 silver shark
2 silver dollars
1 gold goramie
1 pink kissing goreamie
2 pictus cats

The rest of your fish would still be pushing the limits of the 30g, however...a 55g would be better.

WOW!!!! :thud:
NO:
angels best kept in pairs in a tall tank
clown loaches grows up to a 12 inches!!!!!! also needs to be kept in a school
silver sharks bala, also needs to school and grows huuuge (over a foot!)
silver dollars needs to school needs larger tank
pink gourami needs larger tank
pictus could be alright in a 30 but likes a lot of swimming space.


Yes
Swordtails
platties
hatchetfish
gold gourami
mollies
ram
cories
guppies
flagfish
bristlenose plec
khuli loach
zebra danios
cardinal tetras
red phantom tetras
glowlight tetras
red tail tetra
Now pick out two schooling fish (some type of tetra and cory?) build up the school (you already have a good school of cories)and work around those schools. A pair of khuli loaches and the b.n. plec and you are stocked!!!!!

What do you think?
After having all this info at your fingertips for almost a month, you should be well able to answer that question for yourself :thud: .

Yes, you are overstocked, very overstocked, and I think you dang well know it...
Don't you...
