BETTA FISH DIY
Help with 10 gallon tank stocking?
10 gallon tank with DIY sponge filter:
1 betta
5 het/harlequin rasboras
5 (???) ghost shrimp
Is this overstocking??? I didn’t know how to account for the shrimp in terms of bioload. I know they don’t add very much to the waste…I also know the betta might eat them. =B
(This is all hypothetical, of course, so no yelling at me about buying fish without knowing if they could fit or bla bla bla because I would never do that. I don’t even have a tank yet. Just trying to plan stuff out.)
Oops, sorry, and a heater =)
I’m thrilled to see someone looking into things before buying the fish.
Your tank is not overstocked, and some might even say you can add more. I would then disagree, because this is a well balanced tank and a lighter bio-load leads to healthier conditions.
None of your fish are high waste producers, and the ghost shrimp count as especially low.
Great choices, and I have no doubt you’re looking into the maintenance and feeding aspects of keeping them as well.
