Tetra question

[Nikkid1987]

How many tetras can live comfortably in a 10g tank with a small fantail goldfish ? And this other small fish that I can't remember the name of lol it's a harlequin _______. I can't remember what they called it lol but it's small

Well your fantail alone will out grow your tank so im affraid none. 10 gallons is a very small tank and the swimming space for almost all tetra wouldnt really be enough. Sorry if thats what you didnt want to hear.

I have 2 neon glo tetras or whatever the name is and they are all happy with lots of room. I was thinking about the little neon tetras

Sorry my answer is still the same but you can always wait for a second opinion. The thing is fantails grow big and should actually be kept in 30gallons for the first and 10gallons for every extra fantail. They create alot of waste, so its not just about the tank size, the filter you have on a 10 gallon wont be able to keep up with the bioload.

A fantail in a 10gallon is already overstocked sorry.

Agreed. 10 gal is way too small for a goldfish alone. Most tetras are tropical and goldfish are coldwater so they aren't comptatible. Also tetras (and most danios and rasboras) are too active for a 10 gal. You might want to give this a read: http://www.myaquariumclub.com/goldfish-101-11174823.html
