Another school?

[FishieKeeper429]

Right now I have a cycled, lightly planted (plants coming in next week), 10g with an air pumped led volcano, one betta who is incredibly calm and a school of 7 ember tetras. I have a Tetra Whisper 10l and the tank is always clean. I do weekly 10% water changes and all is good and happy. Although I just added a school, the tank seems a bit empty still. Could I potentionally add another school? Maybe Flame Tetra or Black Skirt Tetra. Obviously I want either black or red fish. Is this a good idea tho? I don't want to over stock. Thanks!

Black skirt tetras are notorious fin nippers. I would definitely not go with them. How about Harlequin Rasboras? They are Red with black, so just the color you want! They are peaceful, and are happiest in groups of at least 6, preferably 8. I love mine, and have them in with a female betta.

I'm not sure off the top of my head how big ember tetras get, but I just re-read your post and I see this is only a 10 gallon tank. The betta and the tetras you have is already overstocked. I would not add any more fish to this tank. Upgrade to a 20, and it would be perfect.

Chili rasboras. Tiny, really colourful, and incorporates red and black.

To the OP: I believe you are close if not already fully stocked. You could try some Amano shrimp or snails.

To rocky: I keep 5 adult black skirts with an angelfish. No idea where the fin nipping thing comes in I've never seen any detection of nipping in mine.

Black skirts get way too big for a 10g anyway.

Aqadvisor said that I am at 60% and have plenty of filtration... And I actually have a PF10 not a 10l.

Maybe harlequin Rasbora but I personally wouldn't add fish and add some plants. I have a 10g with Rasboras and a betta and hornwort with weights to keep it on the floor and it looks nice let it grow as long as you'd like or keep it as short as you'd like


Keep calm and drum on
