Overstocked?!?!?!?

[BLUElobster99]

So heres my setup



X2 mystery snail
X2 pristilla tetra
X3leopord danio
X1 julidochromis transcriptus
X1 rather docile crayfish


Could i possibly add another tetra and one more danio?

Im just worried because i know they like schools of 4+

I think in that tank that's a lot but I could be wrong, and if you had proper schools then you would surely be way over stocked. I know people try and cram a bunch of fish into ten gallon tanks but I have a male betta and 5 harlequin rasboras in my planted ten gallon and I really couldn't see putting anything else in there, just my opinion though.

Hello BLUE...

The typical stocking guide depends on the adult size of the fish you want. I've used 2 gallons of tank volume for every inch of the fish, tail and all, at the point it's an adult for my guide. But, this guide would only apply to the average size fish you'd get at the pet store. So, 12, one inch, adult fish would require a minimum of 24 gallons of water. More water is better in this case.

To make the math a bit easier, consider your crayfish's size as an adult fish and go from there.
