Post subject: My Fish
In my 20g I have 18 fish, I know thats too much, but we do plenty of water changes and the water is fine. There are 6 peppered corys, 7 glowlight tetras, 3 black neon tetras, 2 lemon tetras, and a whole lot of snails. I'll put some pics on soon.

Yeah, I'd say a bit overstocked. Any pics of the setup?

As long as you keep up on the water changes you'll be fine. but this just leads to wanting more and more tanks, thats how I started.

very overstocked you may end up with water quality problems and stunted fish, but you have realised that you need to make frequent water changes

Yep make sure your on top of your water change schedule and your filter pads. Best bet is to get a larger tank or another tank and thin them out if you want then to be very healthy

That's my 13 year-old there.
I make sure the water's good. It really does pretty well. I was a bit worried but everyone's colorful & happy.
We'll get some pics up soon.
