What fish to get in a 10 gallon freshwater tank?
I am getting a 10 gallon fresh water tank. I plan on getting a convict cichlid. I want to get a cleaner shrimp, or a otto cat. But i hear otto cats like to be in groups of 2 or 3?
In your opinion, which should i get- a cleaner shrimp or an otto cat?
I forgot to add, I do not plan on getting a filter or a heater.
Should I?
Would the choice of shrimp or otto cat change at all?
ok i now understand that i need a filter and a heater
ok im realizing cichlids arent a good idea but i cant afford more than a 20 gallon tank at absolute most
any other good fish to put in it?

Advice needed for sick drawf (freshwater) puffers.?
African (Malawi) cichlid tank. 75 gallons, established. PH 7.5-8.0. Chichlid salt used. No plants, only rockscape. Bought 6 puffers ~8 weeks ago. Feed mosquito larvae, brine shrimp, krill. I feed them once a day. Occasionally skip a day. Also pellet, flake, cichlid food. The puffers don’t seem to eat these. No signs of illness. No problems with other fish in the tank. Found three of the puffers dead, two days ago. One is now sick. THe other two lay on the bottom but seem to have revived and are swimming around None of them have looked sick- no ich, fungus, etc. Help. I really like these guys and am not sure what to do. Is the Ph too high for them? Not enough or too muh salt? No cover? Wrong food? looked them up on the net but cannot find the answers to these questions. I have a community tank and a guppy tank I could move them to if the ph is an issue (they are 7.0)- but if so, how do you do it without shocking them by the ph change? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

would fresh water Prawn do well in my South American Cichlid tank?
I had a Prawn i raised from a baby in an old tropical tank and he got so big he started eating my smaller tropicals. But now i have a South American tank that id like to have some sort of shrimp in it.
The South Americans i have are a good size the smallest being a 2 inch Jack Dem, the largest being 5 inch red Severum. I also have a 5 inch frontosa that was geting beat up in my African Cichlid tank, that now swims in my south american tank.
Anyways id like to get some freshwater prawn that are around an inch long and have them live in my South American tank. However i have heard they are aggressive. My main question would be how aggressive are they? and do you think the fish would leave them be?
