one inch of fish per gallon. You can over crowd a litle but you'll have to clean it more. Also look into invertabrates or African Dwarf frogs. MOst people dont expect to see a shrimp or a frog in a 'fish' tank.

That is quite alot of fish for a ten gallon tank.I suggest you stop getting fish and start giving away fish.Jeese! You already have like 20 fish and now you want 7 more!? Thats way to many.I have alot of fish like angel fish in my 24 gallon probably I say a total of 15 but you overloaded! Thats ok if you keep alot of the little stuff and some big stuff or you can switch around what I said but there will have to be some changes. I could be wrong like you can have alot of little stuff and keep everything I dont know its up to you if you think theres plenty of room in that tank.

Wow way to crowded
Goldfish should have 10 gallons each
then for the others it should be 1 inch per gallon so really you would need like a 50 gallon
And goldfish need different temps then the other fish
I think you can get away with just the goldfish in the ten gallon without to much of a problem but I would get another ten gal with a heater for the others

properly you won't be in a position to bypass incorrect with a unmarried (and that i rigidity *unmarried*) Betta combating fish. They consume tropical flakes and likewise consume in specific made betta nutrition. in spite of you do don't get a goldfish they provide off a chemical observed as ammonia which builds up in the tank and kills the fish (you will could desire to cycle your tank to keep away from ammonia construction up besides simply by fact all fish provide it off) Goldfish additionally prefer approximately 20 gallons of water not ten. carry on with the Betta.

The others are correct, you are way overstocked! And that story about the fish not getting any bigger than the tank they are in is an urban myth. Their bodies stop growing because they are stunted, but their internal organs keep growing and eventually that kills the fish. Keeping fish in too small tanks is cruel.

You already have too many in a ten gallon tank. You need a larger tank for that many fish.

You are so over stocked I'm surprised the fish you have are still alive. You obviously didn't learn how to properly take care of them before you got them and I think before you think about getting more you should first learn how to take care of the ones you have.

Wow, kinda crowded....
What you want to keep in mind that these creatures are going to grow.....
Goldfish can grow to 1foot to 2 feet.....
If this algae eater is a plecostamus..... it can grow to 2 feet.....
A frog can grow to a foot and a half....
your tetras will not grow very large....
But, if none of them die, then you need more space.....

i agree with rob n but don't worry about them growing to big fish will adapt to their tank size the smaller the tank the smaller the fish will grow and the other way around.
