Endler group in a planted 10 gallon, how many is too many before the plants can't keep up?
Pic below of my endler 10 gallon with a big floating mass on top. It started with 6 and I'm now at around 25 with all the fry I haven't pulled. Plants look fine and nitrate is low, but I know livebearers breed past what a tank can handle. Where do you draw the line, and do you cull or just rehome?

i'd rehome before 30 in a 10. floaters buy you time on nitrate but the real limit is how many they stress each other out, males chasing nonstop is the sign to thin them.
yeah that's fair pete, the chasing is already starting on two of the females. pulling a handful of the fry tonight into the spare tub.
