i have a 60 gallon tank with about 5 guppies, 9 mollies 5 neon tetras, 2 black tetras, 2 pleco, a rasbora, 2 hatchet fish, 2 zebra danio, 3 african dwarf frogs, 2 small angel fish and a spoted green puffer... is my tank too crowded, even though all of the fish are little? If it's not too much, how many do you think is too much??

hello cateyes. i'm still fairly new to fishkeeping too. its not the number of fish but the total inches of fish in a tank. a good rule on how many fish should be in an aquarium is 1 inch of adult fish for each gallon. that's after tank has cycled. then you add them a few at a time. some fish take more room than that.

the little angelfish can growup to be pretty big and i don't know how big the puffer will get. i've heard that they are pretty agressive.

hope this helps and some of the people on here who know more than i do can probly give you more help.
