Hi everyone,
I'm new here and relatively new to fish keeping. I've kept my current fish (1 guppy and 2 platies......I know....I'm so wild) alive for about a year in a 40 litre (10 gallon) tank but they are looking so bored.
I did have more guppies but they kept jumping out even though there is a lid on and I had another platy but he had to go back to the shop as he was bullying everyone else.
So I was wondering, in this size tank would it be unreasonable to have:
2 platies (the originals)
2 guppies (1 original and 1 new one)
5 neon tetras
2 dwarf Cory cats
Is that enough to keep everyone happy whilst also not overcrowding? Could I get away with more?
Thanks very much!
