guys, my 10g right now is 83 degress. what is the best way to cool the water down?im afraid my fishes will die. I got A/C on and the lamp off the for 2 days but it didnt help. Amonia levels are ok. I got Air pump in it too.
Tank Setup:
10g Freshwater
Aquaeon Filter
Air pump
8 community fishes 5 ghost shrimps 1 betta
i got live plants
It’s one of those plastic critter keeper tanks for reptiles. Would it work? The water temp. will be 70-75F and there will be a filter mounted on the side. Would that work?
It looks like this:

Except the one I have is 5 gallons
Wait the point of my question was to ask if the plastic tank would work.
My over planted aquarium, I use the moss as a grass since the thin grass in my region are all imported and expensive, most of the plants are native to Philippines and freshly pick from the pond. It cost me only 15.00 USD for all the plants, everything is a super cheap in Philippines. One of the swordtail got a disease place her in the well planted hospital tank and she recovers with out medication. But lost a bit of her tail and color. I have 2 male fighting fish that seldom fight, there just more territorial conscious. My shrimp is hiding somewhere, got bunch of tetras and cherry barb, well Im just waiting for all the moss to propagate and the plants to grow. This aquarium is customed made so I dont know how many gallons. I assume around 23 to 25 gal. I only had a small box filter and no co2 yet I dont like to make the home made co2 canister it looks messy.
The Fish I have in the Tank are:
5 – Guppies (1 Male / 4 Females)
4 – Otocinclus Catfish
2 – Peppered Cory Catfish (Getting More)
The Tank Includes:
Live Sand
Lots of Drift Wood With Plants Attached
The Named Plants I know I have in my Tank are:
Java Fern
Java Moss
Anacharis
Water Wisteria
Red Ludwigia
Micro Sword Grass
Argentine Sword
Amazon Sword
Melon Sword
And Other Assorted Aquatic Plants
*I am Aware that some of these plants will outgrow the Tank.
———————————————
My Tank is -Fully- Cycled and is -Heavily Planted-.
I was thinking I can get more Fish because I have more Plants..
My Questions:
1. Do you think Adding 6 Or 8 Cardinal Or Neon Tetra Would Overload the Tank?
(I want Other Fish Besides Guppies that can eat the Guppy Babies)
2. Can I add 4 Ghost Shrimp?
(To eat the Food between all the Micro Sword Grass)
3. Can I add 2 More Peppered Cory Catfish?
(Because they are shoaling Fish and I only have 2)
Final Question:
What Can I Add Basically to the list Above? (Tetra/Shrimp/Catfish);
Or Should I only buy 2 more Peppered Cories?
I am Fully aware of the 1-Inch Fish Per Gallon Rule
But the rule doesn’t really apply to me…
I mean what if I bought a 10-Inch Long/Thick Fish and put it in there,
Would that Rule Apply? lol
I have multiple plants to take care of the Fish Waste (Ammonia/Nitrate)
And my Ammonia and Nitrate Levels are currently Safe right now.
The PH is Neutral
and the Water is Very Soft.

Please do not give me Harsh Opinions, I am not a novice Fish Keeper.
I have a 55g Freshwater Tank
and a 29g Saltwater Tank
And Both are Successful.
-x-
The Reason why I’m asking for opinions is because I’m curious of what other fish keepers would say
if I were to add more Fish.
Because I really didn’t Go against the 1-Inch Per Gallon Rule on my other two Tanks.

frozen brine shrimp. It’s for my saltwater fish. For my freshwater I take a bowl of their tank water and melt the cube down and pour it in. I wasn’t sure if it is the same for saltwater or not.
I feed them flakes and pellets as well I just had some left over from rasing guppy fry and thought that they might like a treat.
