Black Widow Tetras

[Neal]

How many of them would be ok in a community tank that's 30"x12"x15"
Thanks in advance,

They are a shoaling fish, so i'd say 5 or 6.

The thing is, I have 3 sets of shoaling fish and individuals. I have 7 neon tetras, 2 leopard danios and 1 black widow tetra, my tank is just under overstocked so I don't think I will be able to put them all in decent sized shoals, which is a shame!
Thanks,

I'm confident that you can fit in a nice school of BWs in that tank
IMHO, 7 neons would make the same waste as one or two danios.

I think i'll get 3 more danios and 3 more BW's. Then I think my tank will be overstocked so i'll have to keep ontop of water changes every 5 days.
Thanks,
