haRg0wbOi Hobbyist Posts: 86 Kudos: 84 Votes: 8 Registered: 28-May-2004	I have a 20-Gallon Long tank. I currently have 1x Marble Pleco, 2x Khuli Loaches, and 2x Harlequin Rasboras. Am I overstocked? if not how many more H. Rasboras should I get?

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Do you have a species name for the pleco? I don't recognize the "marbled" pleco handle, so I have no idea how large it gets. If it hits say, six inches, it would be a good idea to have plans for moving it. Adding five or six more of the rasboras would be great, and the same goes for sticking in two or three more kuhli loaches. Each of those species of fish appreciates the company of its own kind. Barring the pleco (whatever it is), you most definitely have enough room to increase the shoals of fish already in the tank. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I'll just have to move to a bigger tank later on. I would get some more Kuhli's but my lfs stopped selling them for some reason. thx for the help Sirbooks
