Is my tank overstocked?

[jmccalip]

55 gallon:

5 aldult platies
20 platy fry(under 1") When they get 1.5", I will sell them to the LFS
3 adult mollies
2 4" plecos
10 cardinal tetras
4 lemon tetras

It has a emperor 400 for filtration.

Thanks

As of right now, I think it sounds fine, however if you have common plecos, they will outgrow your tank, (and sometimes they grow quickly). They can get well over a foot and a half long!!

well since they are community fish it should br okay. my brother had 10 1 inch guppies in his 2 gallon and they are all happy. (they do not fight. they greet each other and none has died infacted they had lots of babies.)

Ok, now that is over stocked. You should just have 2 in there, max.

jmccalip, your tank is not overstocked, but if the plecos are common plecos, try to get them a bigger home or give them away.

0 MAX. A 2g is no place for guppies.

Well, really under 10 gallons is no place for any fish. I hate seeing fish in small aquariums... :rant:
