Cardinal tetras?

[Pogthefish]

What about 1 male betta, 5 glow shrimp, and 10 cardinal tetras in a 20 gal
and
5 female bettas 10 cardianl tetras, a snail, 5 glow lite tetras, 2 neon tetras 5 ghost shrimp

in a 30 gal

the shrimp n tetras will have to wait in the community tank tillthe 20 gal is cycled

[Pogthefish]

Well, I'm off to go buy so it better work!

I wouldnt place them all in a 30 gallon tank short term unless you are able to maintain perfect water quality, as neons are very fragile fish. I would be doing x25 water changes, or x1 50% water change weekly.

[Pogthefish]

I do a 15% weekly currently and subtract the cardinal tetras they were out at the store.

I have alot of plants tho that absorb amonia

[Mo]

what about nitrites? ammonia isnt the only toxic substance in your aquarium. I would recommend atleast a 30% weekly water change

Mo I have that chart printed out. And the plant one. I'm stocking a 30 gallon and 2 10 gallons and the charts are very useful!
