    Hi guys,

    Tempted to get more fish for my 2 feet moderately densely planted tank but afraid the bioload might go too high and stressed them out. My tank capacity is 73l (=19gal). Is my fish load high? Any guidelines? I've read from other places its like "1 inch slimbody fish to 1 gallon of fish". True?

    I got the following:
    12 drunken rummynose tetras
    5 bold three-lined pencilfishs
    1 vain blue ram
    3 fat platies
    4 small otos
    2 small SAEs
    6+ riccia-picking yamatoes
    ... always look at the bright side of life
