Awhile ago I said I would try and find a good 40 gallon tank. Well I found a 38 that I will probably get, it's in my price range and comes with filtration. I will get better lighting, plant it real well, and use my current 6 black neon tetras to cycle it. Slowly (I learned the no more than 3 fish at a time rule the hard way) I plan on getting 5 zebra danios, 7 silver tip tetras, 6 marbled hatchetfish, either 4 or 5 glass catfish, and 2 dwarf gouramis. Aqadvisor said with good filtration, I would be at 78% with those.... Well I was thinking is there anybody who would say it is way too crowded with like 30 fish? The glass cats get the biggest out of all of them, and the average size of fish between them is 2 inches. Oh, and I am also trying to decide a bottom dweller- Either a peacock eel or cories. I will be getting most of my fish from my lfs, which is INCREDIBLY good at keeping healthy fish, but the silver tips I have to get from petco. I am really excited- But is it too many fish?
