Question: Am I reaching my maximum number of fish?

dorcy · May 17th, 2008

Hey everyone...I have a 60L (16gal) tank. I currently have in it:
2 guppies
2 sword tails
2 zebra danios
2 molly's

Have I reached the maximum number of fish I can safely have in my tank? Or can I put a couple more in it?

thanks

You've reached your maximum.

And also the live bearers are heavy wasters, you could still push a little with tetras but not with LBs.

Thanks so much for the reply!

That is what I thought, I'll leave my population at its current levels for a while then...

... and then you'll get a bigger tank

Sounds pretty stocked to me! Yeah - well, stocked until you end up 'accidentally' acquiring a larger tank...

You can put more fish in another tank, so you'll need more tanks.

EXACTLY ... that's a perfectly valid point ...

Perfect sense! (If only parents would let me get a new one!)
