shrimp, lobster, catfish n plecos...

could you give us the dimesions of the tank? If you accidentally posted 90 liters and you meant 90 gallons, it's still overstocked, but all you need to get rid of are the silvers sharks and one of the plecos, and you'll be fine. the reason I think that you meant 90 gallons is because I don't see how anyone could fit that many fish in a tank that small. they must smack into each other every time they try to swim>

you need to get rid of all your fish and start over, unless you are going to get a 200 gallon tank to hold the balas (silver sharks), angels and plecos. they all get way to big for that tank, and the angels WILL get territorail since there are so many fish in there and it is such a small space. they'll get even more terretorial if a breeding pair forms. you need to return some fish or get a new tank that is WAY bigger

ha ha get rid!
like my mate did, which is how i ended up with them. They'd all be floating around the UK sewers now if i hadn't have taken them. its 3ft x 2 ft x 1&1/2 ft. I will be going for a 5ft x 2 ft x 2ft after christmas unless my fortunes change prior to then.

i honestly dont see what is so funny about releasing fish into local water ways. it is punishable by law in most areas. even at that size of tank yu are not going to have neough room for all of the fish

you dont need to yell. i was only making a point. and if you do not believe that a tropical species of animal can live in 14 degree weater (celcius or feranheit) then you are very wrong. in Chicago we have Quaker Parakeets from SOUTH AMERICA that were released by animal rights extemists and careless owners that thought they could trust their pet on their shoulder outside. well anyway, now there is a breeding colony in CHicago, and they survive our winters, where we get feet of snow and temps under 0 at night.
there are also tropical fish like snakeheads that live in some shallow lakes that have becom dead with other life because of them.

if you did mean celcius, then that is still pretty warm, and tropical fish could survive.

but that still doesnt change the fact that you need to get a new tank that is over 600 litres ASAP, or you should take all of your fish to your local fish store and get store credit for them and use it to buy some smaller fish

dude, JM is right. you need to get rid of most of your fish. and realwasing a fish into the wild is almost like condeming them to death, either that of if enough people are dumb enough, condeming the native fish to death. just return the plecos and the balas and the synos to the LFS the first chance you get. the cories are fine, and the angels will be OK in there for a litte while, a year at most. return them or get a bigger tank when they get to about 11-12 cms long.
