Tank Overstocked??

[drosie141]

Hey guys just wondering your thoughts on my tank i currently have a Tiger Oscar, Green Terror, Firemouth, and Lima Shovelnose in a 150g and was wondering if i could add more fish or if I am already overstocked. If im not overstocked i am open to some suggestions. BTW currently running an FX5 for filtration.

I think u need more filtration. I run an fx5, an eheim 2217 and an emperor 400 on my 135. Personally, i wouldnt add anymore fish if im only running an fx5. I would even take out the catfish.

How big are the fish? I wouldn;t say you're overstocked but I would definitely say underfiltered, especially if you want to add more fish,

Not overstocked.

I would add a Semaprochilodus insignis (Flagtail Prochilodus). These guys are as good if not better at taking care of algae as any pleco, but they are actually attractive.

Ya filtration is what makes it the difference

Filtration is key. I just don't feel comfortable running just 1 filter on a tank more than 10 gallons.

I run 4 fx5s on my neon tetra tank of 25 in a planted 100.
