Hi Everyone,
My husband and I are new aquarists (is that a word). We just started a freshwater aquarium and eventually will be getting a saltwater too.
But, my question is about our new freshwater aquarium. It's 25 gallons. We currently have 6 fish:
1 albino pleco
1 black skirt tetra
1 fancy guppie
1 marigold platy
1 cherry barb
1 zebra danio
We also have one live plant and plan to get 2-3 more plants.
But, my concern is about the danio, tetra, and barb. I know they are schooling fish and would like to get more of them to prevent them from stressing out. But, I don't want to overload the tank.
So, should I get more of each of the three I mentioned and if so, how many?
Thanks,
Bernadette
