is my tank really OS? I keep getting different feedback on this subject! one says go for it, then another says it's overstocked, then another says go for it! now, my fish sizes are this: betta: 2 inches and NOT growing! glowlights: all around 1 1/4 inch and NOT growing! zebra pleco: 1 1/2 inches and growing! also, I found out my 10 gallon is a 10 gallon long, so there's more oxygen and swimming space.
 
Its perfectly fine. If anything, it may be a little understocked, which is most definitely a good thing.
 
I definately wouldn't call it understocked. That pleco is going to make alot of poop, which is going to increase the bioload by alot. I would say with regular weekly water changes you are pretty much at your limit. I wouldnt add anything else.
 
sounds okay..it doesn't sound overstocked..the zebra pleco will reach about 3-3.5"

glo's max out at about 1.5" tho so they may grow a bit..
 
no, I measure my fish once a week, and my glows haven't grow at all.
 
What's the footprint for a 10G long? Never heard of these.
 
three inches shallower, three inches longer.
