Overstocked Tank?

[Bettalover11]

Hi I was just wondering whether I had overstocked my tank or not.
The tank is 22 litres, which is about 5.8 gallons and has a bunch of silk plants and decor in it. Anywho, in it I have a siamese fighter fish, three neon tetras and an albino cory. The betta is quite peaceful and doesn't bother the other fish at all. I have had these fish in the tank for a few days now.
Thanks in advance

I'd think so... How big is your Cory now ?

Yeah i think a tank that small should usually only hold 2-3 small fish. Also I think cories need bigger tanks than your other fish

 

[Bettalover11]

The cory is about 2 and a half centimetres I think.

its only big enough for the betta. both the other fish need more swimming room and more of their own kind to feel comfortable.

Okay, thankyou for your advice. I'll try and get a 10 gallon tank asap for the tetras and the cory.

i would look into at least a 20 long or 29, 10 isn't going to cut it

A 20 would be FAR better but a 10 would be acceptable.

Yup...neons and cory cats should be in groups of at least 5, but the more the better. A 20g tank with 8 neons and 6 cory cat would be a nice start.

Even better than a 20, a 20 long, gives you more options
