Could I Add More Fish?

[Durbkat]

In my 10g I noticed that the tetras hide alot and only the red eyed tetras come and get the food when the lights are on so I would like to know if I could add 2-3 more of each type of tetras I have in the tank to give them more confindince since I noticed with the tetras in my 55g they swim around alot more since there are more of them.

you could probably add 1-2 more of each but that would be pushing it.

how many tetras do u have in the 10g? if u got like 5, yea u acn add 3 more, just watch out for an ammo spike, it could happen. Or just add 1 like every 2 week.

Yea sure i would personaly add like 2 more. The tank is almost fully stocked.

I think it is ok to overstack a bit just as long as you have enough aggitation at the surface of the water for oxogen intake and that the filters are ok and big enough. And you do your water change more often and bump up the % of water out take during the water change.

Ok. Does everyone else agree with what waterboy, Philiip.M, and Chris said?
