stocking levels seem to be the issue of the times for some reason or another.
As in your case there are no large species the easy way to tell if you tank is over stocked it to use your water test kits. Ammonia and nitrite should always be zero. And the nitrate level you should be able to keep below 25ppm (assuming your tap water is between 0 and .5ppm like most) with consistant water changes as often as necessary.
This is a more accurate way of telling if your tank is overstocked or overfed or underfiltered.
