10 Gallon Tall Stocking

[Antigone]

I recently acquired a 10 gallon tall tank. It has one of those filters in the hood deals going on, and instead of the regular intake, I stuck a sponge filter on there. It seems to be working great, just completed its fishless cycle

My question is how many fishes can I put in the tall? I know the general stocking ideals for a regular 10, but I don't know how it being tall changes things.

I am getting some endlers livebearers in the mail today. I am going to be a halfway house for some of them, but I was thinking of keeping the rest in my new ten. Can I get away with two trios or is the tank to small to have fry running around? I know there will be a majority of males in the shipment, so a male only tank would be possible. I haven't had livebearers in ages, but I do have a place for the unwanted fry to go if they decide their mission is to repopulate my fish room with endlers.

I also have 1 Pomacea bridgesii that I would like to see go in that tank.

Thank you for your help!

You could have 2 trios and the bridhesii in that tank. How about some 4 lemon tetras as well or serpae or another type of tetra?

Also, where did you buy your endlers in the post from [can you give a link if possible]

Cheers,

John.

Tetras should be kept in groups of at least 6 (10 IMO).

I agree, I have just added 12 ember tetra into one of mine and apart from 1 that looks a little off the others all look awesome swimming together.

Don't know why I ever had just 6 of 1 type, 6 of another.
