Overstocked?

[MacDoc]

I have been wondering about this for a while. I have had this tank (and most current fish) established for about a year. It is fairly heavily planted. I do a 30 - 40 % waterchange weekly. Everyone gets along well, with the possible exception of my Gourami occasionally chasing my Tetra across the tank (No biting or nipping, just chasing). All water levels are perfect, 0 Ammonia 0 NitrItes 10 NitrAtes. The tank doesn't look overstocked (They never do...lol). When I was typing my Sig file I thought, d*mn, thats alot of fish for a 20.

The tank is pretty well stocked but I wouldn't say overstocked. I think you are right on the limit though.

Thanx for the reply! I think my SAE may be going to my 29g (well...not mine,but, nobody want's to claim it). I read a post after I got him about how they tend to get aggressive as they get older. And sure enough, he's starting to chase my rasboras. Live and learn.

SAEs do tend to get aggressive as they age. When mine was about an inch long it used to hang out with my otos but eventually it became their worst nightmare. I used to think they were cool fish but now I kind of hold them in the same category as the CAE.
