How many fish are too much?

["Roger Prince" <princer at surfree_com>]

Just curious about how many fish create the 'perfect' balance in an
aquarium.  At what point should someone look to getting another planted
aquarium to handle the desire for a new fish?  I have a 45 gallon heavily
planted tank with 5 white skirt tetras, 4 swordtail platties, and 6 young
neon rainbowfish.  Is this too much?

I am currently taking care of an ick problem. Thanks to all of the helpful
responses, I now have a clue as to what do without killing the plants (and
tetras).  Eventually, I would like to add a few algae eaters to take care of
the looming algae.  Thanks to the responses I got before on the algae issue
as well, I know that some is ok - just not BBA.  My tank has not become
overrun with algae like I had feared.


Regards,

Jennifer Prince
