Overstocked probally

10g:blue paradise fish(female), ghost shrimp(female), 2 sunburst mickey mouse platies(male and female), pleco
1.77g:fancy guppy(pregnant female), 2 sunburst dwarf coral platies(male and femae), otto
1g:7 red wag tail platy fry
I think the 10g is much better than it was (or it will be once the pleco is gone). I think what you have now is ok for the bioload, but I've read that paradise fish prefer a minimum of 20g. I think you could get away with this though.
I think the 1.77 and 1 are still overstocked though. Two platies are too big for a 1.77 and they would really appreciate the extra swimming room. Same for the fry. Youd be better of saving up for a 10 or 20 for your platies and using it as a breeding tank (if thats what you want from them) and just keep the fry with the adults. You could then use your smaller tanks for shrimp, or maybe a betta.
