How many?

[Paleofish]

I plan on setting up a 10g tank and I wanted to setup it as a Zebra danio tank and I need to know how many zebra danios could i have in it and Is their any other species of bottom dweller i could have with them in that size of tank.

The most i would go with is 10 as per the 1"of fish/1gal.of water.so ya, 10 danios.Are you getting anything else in the tank,if so it will be less danios.
A decent 20gal/hr filter I hope!
You could add a few more or a few corys if you plan on doing more water changes.

Sounds like fun! Gotta get some pics up when your all set up!:19:

Corys would be cool I haven't had them in a while so Could i have like 5 or 6 danios and 3 corys?

With a small tank water changes are everything.If you do 50% w/cs every4-5 days you could easily have 7 danios and 5 corys. Corys do get a fairly thick 3-4 ",from what I have seen!
That would be a busy little tank.
Some live plants like jave fern or java moss would help keep the nitrates down.
If your tank is not cycled yet only get a few danios at first or do a fishless cycle!

LOL Have fun ,be patient and have a great time setting up your tank to your liking!
It took me forever and I am still trying to perfect it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea this tank is cycled and Everything and I may start out with 5 or 6 zebras and Maybe add some corys later if everything goes well.

That would be good because I forgot to mention (and I'm glad its not too late)don't stock your tank too fast.You will mess up your bio-load and start a mini cycle.They are never good for new fish.
Get your danios and wait a few weeks.Doing your w/cs once a week.
Then go get your corys and do w/cs more often then once a week!:c3:
