How many fish is too many fish??

[dirtydawg10]

I have a fully cycled 10 gal. tank with 2 Neons, 2 Cories, and 2 Kuhli Loaches.

I would like to get 1 more cory and 2 more neons. Does this sound like too many fish? If so do you guys have any suggestions. If not is it possible to maybe get another Neon making a total of 5 Neons, 3 Cories, and 2 Kuhli's.

Maybe just go with the neons and either the corys or the loaches. In such a small tank, it's easier to stick with fewer species so you could have a decent number of each

I think the neons would be ok, but I would not get anymore corys, even though they like to be in groups of three or more, you would have 5 bottom feeders and that is way too many for a ten gallon. They wouldn't have any space on the floor and that is the space they need. The neons are great idea though since they are a major schooling fish! Good luck!

Thanks for the help I think you're right I should just get a few more neons and skip the cories. The cories are pretty happy right now even though three is probably ideal. I am hoping to get a larger tank in a few more months and maybe then I can move the cories to the larger tank and get them a few more buddies.
