So I am running a 20 and 10 gal that I believe is overstocked but I need some advice as to how to balance them (and please note some of these I have rescued from being flushed ) and what to take back to the LFS. So let me start with the stocking:

20 Gal:
4 Guppy's
2 White Mollies
2 German Rams
5 Otto
1 Albino Cory
3 Panda Cory
1 Elegans Cory

10 Gal: (all rescued from Toilet)
4 Kuhli Loaches
2 Glowlight Tetra
1 Betta
2 Red Phantom Tetras


K so here it is. Some background info...the Corys are old and I am not sure if the LFS will take them back. I would like to keep the German Rams.

So I will star there and please be gentle cause I saved a portion of these fish but I want to make sure they get a good home.

What about this-

20 gal:
2 german rams
4 kuhlis
3 ottos

10 gal:
betta
2 ottos
6 red pbhantoms or glowlights (so return one or the other)

as you can see i havent included the livebearers because although pretty, they get to be a nuisance and the mollies should be in a tank of at least 30g. Also, the cories shouldnt be kept singly or in trios, and i cant see where they would fit in in either tank, so please try to return them. Otherwise return the kuhlies (or 2 ottos and put the remaining 3 in the 10g) and stick the cories in the 20g
