Holy wow. Ummm...what kind of filtration do you have on that tank? 'Cuz I was checking AqAdvisor with just what you have listed in your sig and without adding the gourami ('cuz I couldn't find it), you're 182% stocked! :O Just sayin'...not sure if you want to add anything to that.

Actually, that's brought something else to my attention - your signatures says you have 9 mollies, but 2 males and 3 females? Are there fry on top of this or something?

Your gold loach also pops out at me, is it a gold sucking loach/chinese algae eater?

Your 10g is also terribly overstocked long term. Comets and common goldfish can get to a foot long, and need a good 30g per fish and heavy filtration to grow and live healthily.

I believe "cosby gourami" is just another name for blue/three-spot gouramis, which adds a good 6 inches onto the bioload.

Well, see. I knew it had to be *something* big. LOL!

Just kidding. But seriously, that tank is still pretty overstocked (depending on what type of filtration you have)...that is if the "bristlenose catfish" is a bristlenose pleco (since "bristlenose catfish" isn't listed on AqAdvisor) and the golden loach is indeed a chinese algae eater (which I think we established before it was).

no, i wasn't. I guess I forgot that they're two diff things...anyway it'd be nice if you updated your sig accordingly then :p or just place UK gals after their numbers..
