Stocking level opinions maxing out for 55gal?

[antelope321]

I was using AQAdvisor to see how much more room I have in my 55 gallon. I have a HOB Aquaclear 70 and a sponge filter rated for 20 gallons for filtration. Below is the desired stocking I was thinking of and that it says is maxing out but I'm not sure if it would be. Does anyone else think this will be maxing out a 55 gallon with those filters?

11 julii corydoras
1 BNP
28 neon tetras
13 amano shrimp
15 chili rasboras

It should be ok but i would drop the bn pleco - just doesn't seem to fit as a giant among small fishes. Of course if you already have it and want to keep it well whatever.

aquadviser tends to be pretty weak - for me the biggeest problem is you might end up with a lot at or near the bottom and not so much in the upper middle or top. Both neon and chilli are a little unpredictable but generally i find they will end up in the plants (if you have any) which will be lower.

I think it could work. I am having trouple diciding for certain in it would mak out the tank,
A planted tank can usually house more fish successfully.
aquadviser is dangerously redicoulous somtimes and i would not recomend it to my worst fish keeping enemy. "if i had one"

Got it, yes I use it with a grain of salt and to get ideas as well. I do have a planted tank with pothos, amazon swords, vals etc. I just wanted to get an idea if someone was like no way that's too many fish or yea possibly it could work and not too bad.
Thank you all for responding also!

Not even close to maxing out.

That would work fine. Remember that such calculations do not consider particular fish bioloads. Those neons, and especially the Chilis, barely have a bioload effect in such a tank.

Oh….Chilis often are top dwelling. The 28 neons would look awesome.
