30 Gallon Tank Stocking Question?
have a 30 gallon hex tank (2 ft. tall.) In the tank I currently have 10 neon tetras, 5 glo fish, 5 black skirt tetras, 2 swordtails, 2 yo yo loaches, and an african butterfly.
We would like to have a bigger school of neons and maybe a few more glo fish, but don't want to risk overstocking the tank.
My question: can we get more neons and glo fish, and if so, how many?

for starter people i suggest going by the ! in;. of fish for every gallon of water rule, because this rule is what real people out side of yahoo answers use. Yes u have a lot of fish, all though if u do 15%-20% u can add more fish as long as u keep up with the weekly water changes. i say if u do the water changes u can add a total of 6 more fish. http://www.ehow.com/video_4439079_mixing-fish-bree...
Source(s): http://www.ehow.com/video_4439079_mixing-fish-bree... she has 86 fihs in a 30 gallon tank, she is a real expert, and more of her fish started off as babies that were born in the tank. she makes up for it by doing 75% water changes weekly, all though i think thats to much water, but u can learn from her videos cause thats how i learn about fish keeping is from her. also i dont follow the 1 in. of fish per gallon rule, i go above it and my fish are just fine. - 1 decade ago

Of course, the more the merrier! :-) You can get as many more as you want.
