How meany little tropical fish can i have in a 30l tank

I'm afraid we need a bit more information.

How hard is your tap water? You should be able to find this somewhere on your water supplier's website. Because there are around 6 units they could use, we need the number and the unit.
What is the pH of your tap water, after it has been allowed to stand overnight? If you don't have a tester for pH, you need to buy one, and also testers for ammonia and nitrite.

Once we know the hardness and pH we can advise better which fish would be suitable.



Have you cycled/currently cycling your tank?

How meany small tropical fish can i have in that tank on that picture

 

[Essjay]

It is impossible to say that tank will hold this many fish. It depends on the fish. And the water.


Examples -

Male bettas, you can have only one fish.
Microrasboras, you could have about 10. These are soft water fish so if you have hard water you can't have those fish at all, in any numbers.
If you have hard water, you could have 6 male endlers.
If you want zebra danios, then none because the tank is too small for such a fast swimming fish despite their size.
If you want goldfish, none because they need a much bigger tank.



If you could give us a list of fish you like, together with the parameters of your water, we will be in a position to say how many of the fish in your wish-list would be suitable.

I already see some fish in that tank, if you plan to add more please tell us what species you have in the tank and what ones you wish to add as well as your water parameters out of the tap.

I think you need to get the fish in that tank in order first. It looks in major need of a big water change.

The petshop told me to buy the fluval u1 and put it in my tank with your other filter for a couple of days then take your old one out and I have 2 female guppies 1 male guppie 1 female cherry barb 1 male cherry barb 1 male checked barb 1 Brisselnose pleco 2 Cory Catfish and 19 babys in a breeding box with 2 1month and 1 week old guppies in the breeding box and I don't have a testing kit in to Tuesday ill be getting in one from Wilkinson

 

[DutchMuch]

What are your water parameters, was that the actual tank?....
Updated pic if that isn't updated.
Cory catfish need a school of at Least six so I recommend returning those as they are delicate fish.
19 baby?...
Barbs also need a school of six plus and are semi aggressive I suggest you return them as well.
basically restart the tank in a nut shell. Get a good/better filter and what are your parameters (as said) and what's your maintenance schedule and what do you during that time? How many water changes a week and how much water changed?

I am geting more cherry barbs and checked barbs next week and I testing kit and I do a 15% to 20% water change every week like ever Monday and would 5 cherry barbs and 5 checked barbs be enough plus mu barbs get long with all my fish in the tank

No...please, please do not buy any more fish. You already have too many for this tank. It is true about shoaling fish needing a group, but there is no space here so some of these should probably go back to the store if they will accept them. This tank, if it is 30 liters as in post #1, will not support all these fish.

 

[Rrobson96th]

But the pet shop man that has been a fishkeep for 30 year sed you can get about 30 to 40 little fish in there so who can i believe

 

[DutchMuch]

LMFAO
he lied. Simple as that. This is a common problem, ive been a fish keeper for 56 years.

 

[DutchMuch]

alright alright lets stop you there.... lets fix a problem, before we start another one.

I testing kit and I do a 15% to 20% water change every week like ever Monday

Good on the kit, Do fifty percent. not 15
