Hello! We have been looking at getting a fish tank for awhile for my 4 year old daughter and originally I was looking at a larger tank but had a friend come across a family that couldn't take care of their fish and 10 gallon set up so decided to get it. Perfect as a start up...except....of course they had it overstocked I believe. It has 3 neon tetras, 1 peppered cory catfish and 1 rosy barb. I read that the rosy needs 29+ gallons and of course all of the fish need more of their kind to be happy. We have had the tank for a week and it seems to be doing ok. I plan on upgrading to a 30 tank in the next 3 months or so. Need advice on: in the meantime--what can I do to deal with the over stock issue and what to watch out for with stress on the fish? When I do transfer them to a 30 gallon suggestions on quantities of each and/or additions for a healthy grouping of fish? Thanks so much for any advice, I really appreciate it!
