	overstocked in the 45g?
incubus70 Fingerling Posts: 36 Kudos: 31 Votes: 3 Registered: 10-Mar-2005	Hi all, I'm thinking of buying one final species for my 45g tank (thinking of glass catfish or gouramis). I want your opinions. Am I already at max capacity, or do I have room for a bit more? My tank: 4 neon dwarf rainbows 6 cherry barbs 5 rummynose tetras 9 peppered corys Thanks everyone!

I did say "May be". Also you must keep up a good regular maintainence program especialy the percentage of water you change. As well as keeping the filters and the substrate clean. Every thing depends on your tank and the maintainence you carry out. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

A dwarf gourami might be ok, like the others have said a lot depends on your filtration and tank maintenance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
