i love my liverbearer tank but am afraid it is over crowded,

I have six guppies, 3 mollies and 4 four platies. plus a false flying fox and two female bettas.

the tank is 25 uk gallons. it is planted and has ehiem internal 2010 filter.

i do water changes once a week of 6 gallons and feed once a day with a fast on mondays.

at the risk of being yelled at any opinions?

the bettas can be moved and i can move some of the guppies downstairs once the fry get bigger and go to new homes.

thanks
GFG

Your tank looks fine & with weekly water changes it should stay Ok.

oh that's good, i do tend to take on more than i can handle in terms of overcrowding. i was worried since there are sooo many ways of stocking a tank.

i am happy now. fish are not squashed.

thank you
