Stocked or overstocked?

Hey i have 12 black skirt tetras in a 29 gallon and wanted to know if i was stocked already?

You could probably get away with a couple more if you were wanting to add on. I would say 15 is a safe bet.

Ok thanks!

What else are you planning on putting in the tank? The best way to tell if your stocked is to check the nitrate levels after a week and if it's under 20ppm your good, once it hits 20ppm in one week stop adding fish.

The tetras are the only fish in this tank?

I moved the bst and now have a angelfish in it.

When i first got her she was pretty beat up the person i got it from said she was getting bullied by the other fish because the tank was small

Not much...They get big.
I breed angels in 20 talls and they are tight! water changes every other day...

Ok i will just let her enjoy the tank to herself thanks
