As for the stocking. 10 gallon tanks are notorious for crashing due to overstocking and poor maintence. Smaller tanks that that are even worse. Knowing how active zebra danios are the stock you describe in that sized tank is simply asking for trouble. ^_^ [hr width='40%'] It only hurts when I breathe"  |

Test the tank water and post results. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. |
