Hi Guys,


I currently have a 2.5 gallon aquarium setup with a Betta, and 3 cCory
Cats. The Cory Cats average 3/4 of an inch. the Betta is about 2
inches. I have a Red Sea nano Mini Filter running on it currently.
Just yesterday I purchased an Aqua Clear mini/20 to run on this tank as
well. I am interested in maybe one or two more mid-level fish, like a
pair of guppies or neons? How overstocked do you think am I? I think
I will be fine once I get the AC running as well? The fish right now
are fine, they eat and do not stop moving around. I upgraded the
Nano's biological filtration with some AC sponges in various places
inside the Nano. I also plan to use them in the AC when it arrives.
Any suggestions to increase my biological filter? I would upgrade to a
5 gallon but I cannot fit a tank any wider than 6 inches where I have
it. This pales in comparison to my 120 gallon but...it is kinda cool
to have such a small tank. Thanks for any help you can offer.


mate if you keep your sponges healthy and are willing to do more water
changes you could 'try' a few more fish.
neons are prone to getting beaten up by fighters (who hunt them) in tiny
tanks and guppys are prone to being mistaken as another male fighter
(conspecific aggression) and even killed.
I would go something cheap and tough, either danios (like zebra's NOT
giants!!) or white clouds. I mean you can but try and if it's too much into
the 120 gallon!
