Adding WCMM?

[SeaMonkey06]

I was thinking of getting another 3 WCMMs for my tank and was wondering if (as I get my fish from a fish shop that has new livestock each week) I would need to worry about my older (and bigger) WCMMs eating or harming the younger fish? I have heard that WCMM are very friendly fish, but I just wanted to make sure...

Thanks in advance!

I didn't have any problem.

I have been researching a bit and have realised that my wcmm tank is WAY too overstocked! I don't know how my fish shop let me purchase that many! I am in the process of upgrading their tank - is an 18 Gallon Tank okay for 6 wcmm?

Thanks in advance,

Yes, an 18 gallon aquarium is fine for 6 White Cloud Mountain Minnows.

In a 20 gallon long aquarium, I have kept 18 for their whole lifespan without issues.

Aquadvisor.com seems to agree.

What size tank are they in now?

5 Gallon tank. Got the fish from the same place as I got the tank and they seemed to think it was fine, but after some research, I see that it is definitely NOT fine. Poor fishies

Am going to use my 5 gal tank (after the big move and everything) as a betta tank.

I have 6 GWCMM in a 20 long with other fish.
