Hi Everyone
We recently purchased a tank which we were told was 10 gallons only to find out its a 6.5.
Here's the situation
We cycled the tank 3 days.
Added 1M and 1F Betta (they get along great!)
Added 6 Harlequon Rasboras
Added one Snail
Planted 1 Lizard tail
Planted 1 jungle val
Planted 1 mayaca
Planted 1 Rotale Indica
Plantes 1 crypt
25% or 50% water change every 2 or 3 days.
Has 1 filter system and 1 airstone. I made mods to ensure there is next to no water disturbance and it works like a dream.
My concern is that we were mislead to believe it was a 10 gallon tank and we have a few more fish than I would feel comfortable having.
I keep a close eye on the water quality and thus far ammonia is at 0 and nitrates and nitrite are all but nil. But Im aware that can change at any moment.
My question is for the super experienced.
Should I change the water more frequently? If so, how often?
Considering how many fish I have and the general size of rasboras compares to bettas should I keep all 8 fish in the tank? They all seem happy.
