Hello,
I have a 25 gallon aquarium.
I was wondering if it is overcrowded?
In it i have:
-1 endler
-3x1 inch guppies
-6 adult neon tetras
-2 whit cloud mountain minnows
-4 peppered corys
-1x4 inches pleco
-2x1 and a half inches swordtails

Is this overcrowded?

                           Thank you

                     Stephane bilbey

My guppy and endlers are all males, no females.

Not overcrowded at all - but, you should not mix guppies and endlers, unless they are all the same sex.

and guppies can and probably will cross. What will you do with any fry? In a tank that size, with a few plants for shelter from the white clouds and neons, some may survive. What would you call them?

Will you have the time to wait a couple of generations if you want to breed your line of guppies or the Endler's? If that is not a goal you might have, keeping them together is not that big a deal in a community tank.. If you were going to save fry, there are ethical issues as to what to call them and whether to sell or give them away.

You may have seen my diary mentioning that Endler's article in the November TFH. If you are interested in it, check with your local library. If they don't have it, they may still be able to borrow it from another library.

By the way, neons do better in the low 70s. White clouds also will do better in the low 70s (or high 60s) than at warmer temperatures. They will live at higher temperatures, but their lives will be a little shorter.

All the best!
