20 Long Stocking Question

[GBrymer]

I’m curious if I’ve over stocked my 20 Long planted tank.

I have 2 female Bettas, 6 Rio Von Tetras, 4 Emerald Corys, 10 small Neon Tetras and 2 Nerite Snails.  At the moment the nitrate levels are not rising at a fast rate and I’m only doing 25% water changes every two weeks when nitrate levels reach 40 ppm. 

For plants I have 8 well established plants, (5 crypts, 1 aquarium lily, 1 water sprite and 1 moneywort).

Is my tank over stocked? 
 

It should be noted that all the fish are getting along well and not over crowded.

Looks fine to me

Don’t see why that would be overstocked. Enjoy your tank!

Should be fine. Just watch for aggression from and between the bettas.

Your tank seems fine.  If you wanted to address the rise in nitrate you could add more plants. A floater really helps. Just a suggestion.

Your tank isn't overstocked and it seems that you have gotten a perfect cycle of water changes.
