The first does not look over stocked providing all the correct procedures are followed. Water changes, good filtration and plenty of live plants. I would prefer to have all Cardinals rather than a mix. Second question Are those guppies Male, female, or a pair if so how do they get along with the Betta? *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

Even though neons and cardinals are small, you shouldn't put 15 of them in a 10g. I had problems with 8 neons and a betta in a 10g and even though I started falling behind on water changes, I don't think you can do it enough for that many fish. If you plant a 10g heavy enough to tank care of the waste, the fish won't have room to swim. Especially that many of them. *Kristin*
