How many fish in a 10g?

[koston]

I have a 10g nano setup with 3 small fish. I have live rock & sand. I plan on putting corals in in a few months (the tank is about 3 months old and I plan on waiting until the 7 month mark for corals) My parameters are in check and everything is fine. Should I stick with 3 small fish and call it a day or could I go for more... if so, how many more?

no more IMO. 3 fish could become a problem to keep nutrients in check down the road

What are the 3 fish that you have? In my 10G I Have 2 black/white gobies and 1 firefish.....I would not add any more

U would also be wise to get the correct lighting for these corals.. I would not go more than 3 either...I have 5 in a 36 and iam TRYING not to get another lol until i get a bigger tank.

Sounds like 3 is the perfect number then. No more fish for me. How many snails should I have?

It depends on the fish you have....what fish do you have in this tank?
as far as snalis, maybe get 3 nassarius, 3 cerith, 3 astrea.....after the tank matures more you may need more...

What fish do you currently have in your tank?

A Blond Naso tang, a Dwarf Lionfish, and a Clown Trigger. They're all babies, though.

I hope that you have a bigger tank on the way cuz those fish all need huge tanks to be happy and survive.
