Default 20 Gallon Tank

Hi bros,

Can I get some advice on how much fish I can stock in my 20 gallon tank? Currently I have 20 neon tetras, 8 rummynose, 8 zebra danios, 3 yamato shrimp and one 1 inch pleco. My tank still looks empty as these fishes are small.

I am thinking to add a betta and a silver shark maybe.

Please advise. Thanks!

I think your tank is actually adequately stocked, but if you want to add a betta it wouldn't hurt. I wouldn't want to add the silver shark though, it grows rather large.

Betts and silver shark can attack your neon tetras. Better don't.

Get the long tail betta, they are too slow to chase.

IMO betta will get bullied in the tank. Very vulnerable to fin nip by various tetra/danio/barb species.

For a 70L tank, you are pushing it.
What is your filtration?
