Greetings all,

I have an established 10 gal tank with plants. I currently have 5 neon
tetras, 1 silver molly, and 1 ghost crab. I was wondering if I could
possibly add more fish to this tank. I was wanting to add some more of the
smaller variety, such as more tetras or more ghost crabs. Any ideas on this?
I know that you're limited on fish stock when it comes to 10 gal.
tanks...that's why I wanted to ask before doing anything. Many thanks.

How's it filtered?

I'd say you could physically fit some small tetras in there, but
if it was my tank I'd need to know it was well filtered. I know
tetras don't make much demand, but as you know in a small tank
it's easier for things to go wrong!

Bother. Must not drink tequila before midnight on a weeknight.

I would consider scavangers, Juli Cory Catfish are small and
different. Very hardy.

The tank is filtered by the Penguin Mini system with biowheel.
