Glowfish,Zebrafish,Zebra dinano, and my Bleeding Heart Tetras?

I know a glow fish is a type of zebra fish. So is a Zebrafish and Dinano the same too?





Are glow fish and my 3 female bleeding heart tetras compatible together in a 10g? I am planning on getting most likely one more bleeding heart.





If I do get glowfish should I get the 4 since I wll have 4 tetras or does it not matter if the number in the schools the same?

"Glowfish" are not a type of "Zebrafish". There is no such thing as a "Zebrafish". There are Zebra Danios, and Glowfish are a genetically altered Zebra Danio.





For a 10 gallon tank, try 5 Bleeding Hearts and 5 Glowfish.





They won't know the difference in school number. The more fish you have in a school, the less nipping and stress there will be, but remember to be reasonable with your stocking.

Reply:You'll have no issues with these fish in a 10 gallon tank really. The Tetra's will probably get a little bit larger then the Danios. You could see yes that the zebrafish and Danio's are the same thing, but they're called Zebra Danio's. Glowfish are zebra Danio's that have a gene put in them to give them a neon look. This is not to be confused as the same thing as dying or painting fish. This is done at the egg level and not considered to be detrimental to fish as dying or painting is.





Zebra Danio's aka Glowfish are quite active, but do not get very large. Their waste levels are very minimal as well. The only real issue you might have out of this is the tetra's and danio's would probably both want to be an upper level swimmer. I feel you could have upwards of 10 danio's and probably 5-8 Tetra's. I say lower the tetra to danio count as the tetra's would tend to end up a little bit larger as an adult.





Bioload wise, I'm sure someone will come along and spout some 1 inch per gallon garbage, but in depth analysis of this situation will tell you, the waste levels and overall size of both these species doesn't apply the inches and gallons rules. I'd put an Aquaclear 20 HOB filter on your 10 gallon tank. Give it slightly higher filtration then the tank size and you'll be just fine.
Reply:Do you mean glowlight tetra? i have never heard of a glowfish...





A lot of my tanks are 10 gallons and its great for a community tank with 10 - 12 small fish in it
Reply:Yes, yes, and no It doesn't matter if the schools are the same!
