[teknikz]

from what ive read on here u got too much in the tank as it is......with it only being a 10 gal

i got 3 fighters 4 tetras a ram and a gourami and i been told i can only add a couple more when the cycle has finished

What should i add?

...more filtration ...as teknikz says that is a bit of a heavy load for a 10 gal tank, but with extra filtration and regular water changes you should be fine.

 

[leroy]

U might want to watch ur danios u've only got a few and they tend to nip the fins of other fish wen in very small numbers. The fantail guppies may become victims of this.

From just rough calculations you are about half again over stocked for that tank. Just ball parking the numbers I come up with at least 15 inches of fish and you should be at no more than 10 for a 10 gal tank. Not to mention that 10 gal tanks dont usually have the best filters in the world so you might consider moving some fish to another tank........JMHO

Not to mention, babies.

Any of those guppies or mollies fall into the opposite sex category?

 

[new_fish_guy86]

actually i don't have any fish yet. Just seeing if i should spend the money or not.

 

[Alia]

Can you elaborate a little on that? Spend the money on a tank? The fish? Some of the fish? Is there a particular look you're going for that unless you achieve it it won't be worthwhile?

I would have far fewer fish to begin with and work toward establishing a healthy tank. HTH.

Alia is right on the money......Get the tank first, get it running and cycled before you go and load it up with fish
