Hi folks
Just set this small 10 gal tank up next to my computer.
I was thinking of maybe 4 male Guppies & 3 Pygmy Corys, or is this too much stock.
Advice appreciated.
P s Was going to have Dwarf Puffers, but changed my mind.

Nah, minnows don't need that much space. Very easy to care for fish. Either a school of minnows (I'd go 15-20, but of course people will say this is overstocking, but its worked for me, I have 30-40 and an ACF in a 10g without problems.). Or some nice tetras.

30-40 in a 10 gallon wow, that seems far too many. And if you did go minnows i wouldent get more than 10 max. We are talking WCMM right?

Plenty of swimming room, frequent water changes, not too many, they are doing fine. No, rosy red's.
