I have a 30 gallon tank with 6 Harlequin Rasboras,5 Zebra Danios,4 Diamond Spot Tetras,3 Neon Tetras,and 3 Glolight Tetras.Is the tank over stocked?

Hi Tiger,

I looked up the adult size of your fish. I would say you are over stocked.

6 Harlequin Rasboras 12"
5 Zebra Danios, 10"
4 Diamond Spot Tetras 12
3 Neon Tetras,and 4.5
3 Glolight Tetras. 4.5

Total of 43" of fish in a 30 gallon tank.

The rule of thumb is 1 gallon per 1 inch of adult fish. (There are some exceptions to this, an example would be, you wouldn't put 1 10" fish in a 10 gallon tank)

if i were u i would do water changes more often (like 2 a week) just because there is so much over population in there.. u know, just to be extra safe for ur fishies ..not at all saying that u dont do water changes..
