Rasbora Stocking Question?

[Sadrienne]

Would 5 (maybe 6) rasbora hets be alright in a 6 gallon?
or is that pushing the bioload?

What type of filtration would you be using and also what is the brand of the filter?

wouldn't put any in a 6 gallon, they get too big, they can get to nearly 2"

you really need fish that get to 1" max in a tank that small

Ok, that's what I thought - I didn't realize they got past one inch...
I'm not sure what the filtering speed is exactly, but its got a pretty good current...that's why I wasn't going to put a betta in it - a male would have to struggle too much against the current.

how about a dwarf puffer then? some are freshwater and some are brackish so be careful abotu which ones you get but they'd be cute in a little hex tank
