hey guys,
i was just wondering, i have a 10 gallon tank with 2 albino cory aeneus, 1 bronze cory, 3 neon tetras, 2 scissortail rasbora and 2 silvertip tetras. I think im packed, but my freind bought me another small cory for my tank. Do you think that is too many fish for my 10 gallon.

jonathan.

Any more fish and you might be pushing it, but if the water parameters are of an axeptable level and your fish seem healthy then I wouldn't worry.

Considering that fish you already have, might grow a little...I'd hold off. Buy another 10 gallon and get a few MORE fish. It's better to expand, then to overcrowd

Yep, consider of buing a new tank. Corys prefer to be kept in groups of six or more.
Your other fish could also want a buddy or two..

Osteoporoosi has a good point. With another, bigger tank you can provide your fishes with the company they need. (and the space)

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
