um, i was just wondering how many fish you can fit in a 25 gallon tank because i really dont want to overload my tank. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Re: how many fish can you fit in a 25 gallon tank? ... please help
sorry i made a mistake.... i have 2 albino corydoras aeneus, 1 bronze corydora aeneus, 3 neon tetras, and 2 scissortail rasboras.and im wondering if it will overload because my freind is getting me 2 silver tip tetras.

Nice to see wise aquarist who asks
You know tetras are schooling fish and a school is 6-8 individuals per species, rather than 2-3. Then they can exhibit their natural schooling behaviour and natural spawning behaviour aswell. Better colors also when they feel safe and comfortable.
I would suggest you update your rasboras to a school of 6, and neons to a school of 8-10 and then the tank is good. They even look so much better when there are more than just 1-3 of each kind.
Getting a proper school for cories is adviceable, too. 6-8 of one species. Then You can even make them spawn easily if you have both sexes present. They are really fun to watch. Good luck with this interesting hobby!

Cories love the company of their own and they are schooling fish, too. A small school of 6 cories will fit at the bottom of a 25-gallon tank very well.
