Currently, I have 2 10-gallon tanks set up, one with 6 guppies and one with 6 tetras in it. Is there any way I could add more fish to either of the tanks or is it already full?
 
What type of tetras do you have? The guppie tank is stocked to its limit. Pictures of your tanks would be appreciated. :)

I have neon tetras!

Here’s some pics of the tanks:

Neon tetra's are a schooling fish and like to swim in packs so as to not feel threatened by predators. The tank is a species tank so there would be little to no reason to feel threatened other than bullying. If a fish is being picked on or bullied, then I would add 4-5 more tetras just so they feel safer. I used to have a similar sized tank with 10 neon tetras and they were fine. But unless some fish are being picked on, I would see no reason to add any more. That is only for the tetra tank though as I have no experience with guppies.
