Hi there!!
I recently had a 22l tank that I have upgrade to a 40L tank (although I am convinced it's about 45L-50L after filling it up). Only replaced it because my 22L cracked and this tank was the best I could get in a few hours notice.
I was hoping to get some suggestions on how to stock it to make sure its not overstocked (I overstocked the 22L for sure sadly, I was fairly new and I don't want to make the same mistake again). During the tank change, I sadly lost my betta and it was definitely because it was such an emergency change (think the stress killed him as everyone else is fine and tests come back clear).
I currently have: 1x bristlenose pleco, 2x aquatic dwarf frogs, 2x harlequin rasbora, 1x cherry barb, 2x shrimp. It's a fairly planted tank and I will be looking at adding some more deco (and getting some wood) to make some hiding spaces. Currently there isn't much cause I doubled tank size!
Was wondering what people thought on how many more fish I could have in my tank or perhaps even just one 'centrepiece' fish. My betta was my absolute favourite part of my tank and I am a bit heartbroken to get a new one - want to try new fish!
Any help would be super appreciated
