I'm curious to know if my tank is overstocked.. I've read articles on one inch per gallon, one inch for three gallons and others that indicate to overstock because cichlids are crowded in the natural environment.
I just checked my water quality and nitrates were fairly high with low levels of ammonia.
I have a 55 gallon standard long aquarium with the following:
3 inch yellow lab
4 inch yellow lab
3.5 inch blue peacock
4 inch peacock hybrid
3.5 inch albino pindani
6 inch frontosa
3.5 inch algae eater
Total inches 27.5
It might seem like a stupid question to some people who've been looking after aquariums for years but I'm still new at this.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks
