Choosing Fish To Buy. (Help)

[FishFillet]

Hey guy, I set up a new 10g in my own room and it is ready for fish to be put in. yet im not so sure what i really want to put in this aquarium, so i thought to ask you guys for some suggestions, i dont really want the more common fish like neons and such but i want something more rare like. So please post suggestions to help me. please. pictures below...

Well, I have seen people have guppies, platys, and sordtails in a 10 gallon. If you get a bunch of them your tank will look really nice. It will be hard to find rare fish to be able to put in that size of a tank.

There's no reason you have to have 'common' fish - lots of 'rarer' fish are small and lots of people on these forums keep them!

There are plenty of nice microrasboras, killifish and small livebearers I've seen members mention they have - maybe they'll chime in here, or you could post on the relevant sections of the forum.

shoal of tetra and some shrimp

corydoras would be nice. keep a shoal of at least three 6 is better but a bigger tank really. they will eat up all of the left up food to avoid ammonia poisoning.
