[Is My 10 Gallon Overstocked?]

If you do not want plants but want some of the benefits you could try pothos outside with roots in the water or in a hob to help keep the water healthy 😁

My local hardware store sells them in pots with soil. Do I just remove them from the soil and let them float in the tank ?

One important question some people may have before answering: Do you have live aquarium plants in this tank, and if so, what types and how much?

The reason why I ask is that what you are describing may be a bit on the heavily stocked side, but having a lot of live plants may help make it work as far as water quality and making the fish feel secure. 

Thanks for the response.

This time around I do not want plants in the tank for a couple or reasons.

I did plan on having some hiding spots pvc pipe and the Like. 

How would you alter the socking in that case, I am very keen on the loaches the other fish do not bother me so much?

I am planning on stocking my 10 gallon with the following: 1x Dwarf Gourami 6x Ember Tetra 3x Khuli Loach, is this over stocked. I have an internal filter that has sponge and Eheim Substrat Pro that does 132 Gallons per hour.
