fishfish

Hi.
I have a 22g tank with 3 Zebra Danios and 6 Cardinal Tetras. I plan on putting in 2 more Danios and 3 Platys.
Is this combination of fish ok? And will my tank be overstocked?

theyre all fine together but u'd be kindof overstocked... platies have a 2 inch growth, zebras have a 2.5 inch growth and cardinals have a 2 inch growth.. so 12.5+12+6= 30.5 inches of fishie goodness...

hmm ur choice of what extra fish/fishies u get tho... technically u have 2.5 inches of fishie-growth room left in ur tank...

Welcome to Fishlore.

You'll probably want to not get platys and get 3-4 more Danios, they tend to be less nippy to other fishes fins when kept in a group of 6 or more. That would be a bit overstocked but manageable with an extra water change every so often.
