Hi all,
I've got a 20 gallon long tank with an aqueon quietflow 30. I currently have 5 tiger barbs (did a fish in cycle) and my tank is finally cycled at 7 weeks. I'd like to add more tiger barbs, green ones this time so I was wondering how many more I could add. I've read that I could get away with having a total of 10 in my size tank but want to make sure that this wouldn't be too many knowing that they will get a little bigger and they like their swimming room. Also if adding 5 more will work, would adding another 5 all at once be too big of a change for my bioload, in other words should I add 3 now and then another 2 after a couple weeks?
Thanks
