Hi guys!
I'm so excited that my tank finally finished cycling. It only took a long patience teaching 6 weeks. Anyways, I just stocked it with 4 glofish tetras (black skirt tetra). AqAdvisor tells me that I could have 8 adult sized skirt tetras in my 10 g with a stocking level of 89%. Adult sized tetras could be 2 in. Doing the math, 2x8= 16, which is more than the old 1 inch of fish for each gallon of tank. Of course the ones I have now are small 1 inchers. Add to that, skirt tetras are schooling fish and like to be in larger numbers. My question is, what are your opinions on adding another 4 glofish? I'm also considering going with a larger filter if that matters. Currently I have an in tank tetra 10.
