I have a ten gallon tank with driftwood and plastic plants. My local fish store told me I could have 10 zebra danios and 6 penguin tetras. That sounds like too much. Could i really have 16 fish in a 10 gallon tank?
you could have 16 small fish in a 10 gallon IF the tank is REALLY well cycled, and you do regular water changes. Personally I would recommend 50% water changes once a week.
