stocking a tank

[kathleen55]

how many fish do you think there should be in a 10g tank? is there any way to have a few more fish in a tank (like what could you do) for example more water changes, filter changes, etc.. i was just wonder what you opinion on this was

depends on what fish you are looking at. and really the overall amount your tank can support will rely on how often you can maintain your tank and crowding.

I'd say about 25 max... then again, one could be overstocking it

you can probably have more fish if your filter is bigger than what is recommended for this tank and you do a lot of water changes. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR FILTER MEDIA UNLESS IT IS FALLING APART. All of the good bacteria is on the filter media and you will go through another cycle and probably kill your fish
