10 gallon stocking idea

[Meg0000]

Hi, I decided I was gonna sell or give my paradise fish because I know she deserves more than a 10 gallon tank. I feel bad about keeping her for so long because it's pretty clear she's not happy in that tank and I think it stunted her growth. I don't know what fish I could have in a 10 gallon tank so I would like to have some ideas.

If you liked your paradise fish look into honey Gourami’s, sparkaling gourami, and maybe a single betta.(don’t do all of this together, betta needs to be alone, I think honey gouramis need to be alone or in pairs, sparkling gouramis like groups of around 1 male to 2 females)

A single betta would be good. Maybe a group of pygmy Cory cats. (IF you had sand)

I would want to make something totally different, maybe a small commmunity of 2 small specie or a breeding tank.

For breeding you could breed the sparkaling Gourami or types of killifish like gardanie killifish

I have small gravel and a big peice of wood that takes a lot of the substrate area but I really like pygmy cory so I might change my tank so it's suitable for them. My tank right now is like this but without the moss.

I think that's a good idea. Would the clown killifish be suitable and how many?

They defiantly need sand. (Fine sand, not course)

But they are a cool fish.

You could do around 3 pairs maybe more but idk I’ll wait for someone else to answer that. Make sure to have a tight fiting lid because the jump. And they only live around 1-2 years. They like 68-79f so you won’t need a heater for most the year.

I think one species of any of these :

1)Mosquito Rasboras
2)Boraras Merah (Rasbora)
3)Blue or Green Axelrodi Rasboras
4)Green Neon Rasboras (maybe)

2)Boraras Merah (Rasbora)

I really like this fish. I see them all the time at my LFS. They defiantly need to be I groups, as they are social.
