Interesting fish for a 10 gallon freshwater tank?

Posted on December 7, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

Well, my 10 gallon is finally established, but I am a little disappointed. My tank looks amazing, but my fish (6 black neon tetras, 1 male dalmatian molly and 1 cory catfish, along with a few shrimp and snails) aren’t very entertaining. My tetras stick together in one corner, and my molly stays near the surface with minimal movement. I was thinking of moving the tetras to a 29 gallon, and I need some good replacements.
What are some cool fish that look nice and are fun to watch?
So far I am getting 3 zebra danios and 1 female dalmatian molly, what else should I put in there?
Larger species are OK, as I will relocate them to a 29 gallon once they grow.
thanks
to see my tank, youtube search “Black neon tetras 10 gallon tank” its the first one. tell me what you think
Ok I will add some plants soon and post another video of how the tetras are doing; hopefully they will start swimming around if not they are going to my 29 gallon
like I said I will move larger fish (including the molly) to a 29 gallon once the time comes so size doesn’t matter

What fish to get in a 10 gallon freshwater tank?

Posted on December 2, 2011 by admin| 7 Comments

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?

10 Gallon Freshwater Tank Stocking Question?

Posted on November 27, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

I have set up a 10 gallon tank about a month ago. Have been testing the water and I have gone through the cycles. I have had neon’s in the tank since the second week of setting it up. I had 3 and I lost one about a week ago to NTD. I do weekly water changes and I watch my levels closely. I’ve been talking to my local pet stores here and they talked me into buying 3 Dwarf Honey Sunset Gouramis. They are really small fish and they are very pretty.

Now what was Ideal for me was to only have 1 gourami and 3 balloon mollies and the neons and I really want some red cherry shrimp. Do the shrimp count towards my stocking count? (That may be a dumb question.)

Could I add the balloon mollies and some red cherry shrimp without overstocking my tank? I would really like both but if I was in danger of overstocking I would reconsider my purchases. Could someone help me out?
I already have the 3 gouramis and they are very small no larger than an inch. The two neons are fine together and i prob should get some more. I will prob. do 3 mollies but i just wanted to know if the shrimp would over load the biofilter or not.

Can I keep my orange delight shrimp in freshwater.?

Posted on November 23, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

Can I keep my orange delight shrimp in freshwater with about 4 other fish in a I think 10 gallon tank (maybe a 15)? If so what should I feed it?
It’s a 10 gallon tank. I have three medium sized tiger barbs, 1 small loach, and a red clawed crab.
