Is my 10 gallon fish tank overstocked?

Question

hi i have 6 goldfish and 2 giant danio i have a 10 gallon fish tank is overstocked and i have filter to and every thing

Answer 1

no if there comets/common/feeder/carnival goldfish they need 150 gallons minimum and i did not know you can get coldwater giant danios but you can get cold water zebra danios so i would say they would be ok but get a school of them

if there fancys you need a 80 gallon aquarium minimum

Answer 2

depends on how big ur goldfish are. If they are bigger than 2 inches then u need more room.

Answer 3

I researched this myself and what I found was that for every 1 inch of fish you should have 1 gallon of water.  This means that since you have a 10 gallon tank you can have 10 fish that are 1 inch long or 5 fish that are 2 inches long ect...

Answer 4

The gold fish will grow and you will be overstocked if you arent already. I would remove some fish or get a bigger tank

Answer 5

Yes it is overstocked! You really need alot of room for goldfish alone.

I had a goldfish that got over 9 inches long. They actually recommend 10 gallons per goldfish.  

Answer 6

Just remember you need about 2 gallons for every fish. They need their space.  

Answer 7

remember its a gallon per fish, just remember that when you buying fish and you will be ok!

OH! yes it is over stocked you will need to get a bigger tank and or take one of the fishes back.

Answer 8

yes you are over stocked giant danios grow to be 8 inches

Answer 9

Yes, I would say your tank is overstocked.. Danio get to be pretty long and goldfish need their space.. You should have at least two gallons per inch of fish.. So if your goldfish are more than 2 inches long then you DEFINITELY need a bigger tank!

Hope I helped!

Answer 10

You should only have 1 gold fish per 10 gallons.

GF grow so fast and are very dirty.

Danio and GF should not be housed together.
