	Am I overstocked?
dreamseeker12 Hobbyist Posts: 66 Kudos: 34 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Feb-2006	Well I am considering planting my fish tank, but I am worried about my fish stocking. I have a ten gallon, with one betta, two cherry barbs, and four khuli loaches. (They are black khuli loaches with no stripes and should grow to around 4 inches or so each). Should I trade them in for say long finned danios? (about 5-6) or oto fish? (2-3) or is my tank fine as is? And will the khulis uproot any plants that I plant in there? Fish are like potato chips. . .you can't have just one

If you exchange the loaches for danios, you risk crowding the upper-middle part of the tank, which could lead to some aggression. Also, the flowy fins of the danios might prime the betta for a fight.

But I really don't want to get danios if I don't have to as said above. Thanks for the help guys ^_^ Fish are like potato chips. . .you can't have just one
