    Is my tank overstocked?

    Hello, I plan on getting a 105 litre tank (W75 x D35 x H40cm) and stocking it with
    8 Neon tetras
    4 Endlers
    1 Honey Gourami
    8 Espei Rasboras
    7 Pygmy Corys
    10 Mosquito rasboras
    3 Platy

    Is this overstocked / are some of my fish not compatible? I have had another fish tank before so am not completely new to fishkeeping.

    Thanks

    Since those fish you listed are small fish, it should not be a problem in that size tank.
    However, you need to monitor the tank daily to keep track of its progress. If your bio-media is mature and efficient, it will be able to handle the bioload. In any case, small water changes will go a long way to keep the tank and fish thriving. You will need to have a reserve of aged water for the purpose. Be careful of using chemicals though, as they can kill the bacteria in the bio-media and thus upset the tank's ecological balance.
    LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
