Would this tank be overstocked?

[Sparkxx]

Hey gafro
AaAdvisor is advising white mountain minnow do fine, no need to change anything on their part
I do agree the male betta should be removed from this tank and put in a 5/10 g tank but the female will be relatively fine
I agree you should add a couple more male guppies
and I don't think the pleco needing wood is a necessary thing, but maybe it is

nice setup by the way *thumbs up* I'm sure things will work out

but this is just my sort of input into the discussion, someone out there will have more experience than me.

also lovely fish gorgeous betta,

EDIT: 20 neons maybe?

It's a Pleco.

if i remove the male betta, will he be ok in a 7 gallon with a block moor, and orange platy and a dwarf puffer? (i know black moors are coldwater, but he used to just lie on the bottom breathing heavily so i tried putting a heater in the tank and now seems to be doing great. And surprisingly he doesnt bother the DP althought he does like the odd cherry shrimp shrimp as a treat )

you should probably get a bigger tank for the black moor

 

[gafro]

you should probably get a bigger tank for the black moor

nah not yet, its not that big, only a year or so old. about 9cm long including fins. :dance:

Has the Dwarf puffer nipped at any of the fins of the other fish in that tank?

And it wont get much bigger in that size tank, its growth will be stunted and it will have internal organ problems because the organs keep growing while the rest doesn''t. 7 gallons seems way too small for the fish you have in there

You will need to get a larger tank for the black moor (at least a 20g) and the puffer will harrass/kill the betta. A 7g with a betta, a platy, and a puffer is pretty heavily stocked. I am not sure, but you might be able to get away with only a betta and a platy.

 

[gafro]

its only a dwarf puffer (3cm big)

Try going on to aqadvisor.com and putting in what you have, it'll give you an idea of how your tank is stocked and you can play around with adding fish. there is no 7 gallon on there, but you should be able to put in measurements

the platy doesnt belong to me, its in my tank because it was lying on the bottom in my dads tank. when i first put it in mine it looked fine but now its lying on the bottom so i dont think it gonna be here for much longer :'(
