ok i am getting rid of some fish soon and im also getting some more after that. but i would like to know if this tank setup would be easy to take care of in a 30 gallon tank. Fish setup includes: 3 clown loaches, 1 rainbow shark, 1 giant danio, 4 peppered cory cats, 5 otocinclus's, and any tetras that my mom likes. would that work? of the fish in this final stock i have the rainbow shark, giant danio, 1 peppered cory cat, and 1 clown loach.
 
I obtained these results without counting the 5 otocinclus and tetras at Aqadvisor


Note: Clown Loach may pretend to be dead at times.
Warning: Clown Loach is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 12 inches.
Warning: At least 5 x Clown Loach are recommended in a group.
Note: Rainbow Shark may jump - lids are recommened.
Warning: Rainbow Shark is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space, potentially reaching up to 6 inches.
Warning: At least 5 x Giant Danio are recommended in a group.

Recommended temperature range: 24 - 25 C. [SIZE=-1][Display in Farenheit][/SIZE]
Recommended pH range: 6 - 7.8.
Recommended hardness range: 5 - 15 dH.


Warning: You NEED to add more aquarium filtration capacity!!!

Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 43%.

Recommended water change schedule: 95% per week. (You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 77% per week)
Your aquarium stocking level is 208%.
Your tank is seriously overstocked. Unless this setup is temporary, you should consider a larger tank.
 
thanks. let me give you some stats of my tank and fish right now and how they have grown. rainbow shark has stopped growing at about 4.5 inches and im hoping to give it to a friend when he gets his 75g or 90g. my rainbow shark has never jumped and i have a lid on my tank. ill go to that site and check out how overstocked my tank is currently. im trying to make it less overstocked and still have a lively environment in there.
