I have a 10g with lots of plants, in a new aquarium about a month old. I have six White Clouds, one Oto, one tiny Gourami (Gold Flame Honey Gourami?).
My question is, is that too much "fish-inches" for a tank that size? I have been wanting to put in an order at AZ Gardens, and I wanted to get some of the algae-eating shrimp, and perhaps some of the small nerite snails (aside from lots of plants, of course). I have been told that one should limit fish to "one inch per gallon". By that rule, I have probably overstocked already, but only slighly.
Would the shrimp and snails add significant load to the tank? Could/should I add them? If so, how many would be "safe" to add? I was thinking of either the Amano shrimp or the smaller Rudolf shrimp.
