when my large angel fish has been rehomed this weekend i will have in my 30 gallon tank, 4 tiger barbs, 1 molly, 1 rainbow shark, 1 bn plec and my yet to be rehomed clown loach, will my tank be overstocked if i add 2 more tiger barbs, a school of 10 neon tetras and about 4 zebra danios? I have seen loads of videos on you tube and some tanks my size have tons of fish in them! If its not overstocked with them how many other small fish could i also add? Thanks x

if you skip the danios, and rehome the ones you mentioned, you should be ok....just because you see a tank on youtube, doesnt mean its the best of setups or is good for the fish

Are you correct in saying that the final stocking list will be this?

10 neon tetra
6 Tiger barb
4 zebra danio
1 molly
1 rainbow shark
1 bn pleco?

If this is the case I would say it is close to overstocked. I would consider moving the rainbow shark. I hear it gets to a good 4 inches and gets pretty mean if it doesnt have its space. Maybe take the neon school down to 8 and that sounds pretty good if you maintain good tank maintenance.

Yeah thats right, i will do that and get 8 neons, i only had the shark as my friend bought it and it got picked on in her tank otherwie i wouldnt have bought one, thanks for the advice peeps x
