Restocking

[vettech909]

i am restocking my tank.it is a 10gallon that my friend gave me.she had a MONSTER common pleco so i put it in my 55gallon.the only thing thats hard too figure out is what fish too put in there.i like preditory fish but non will fit and i absolutely love tetras!!!my favorite of all are mollies and platys.i want a comunity so i can have like 2 mollies and 1 angel ect.i know an angel wont fit,that was just an example.gouramis are beautiful and so are goldfish.goldfish i KNOW wont be able too be happy in there so i marked them off my list.the main fish im focust on is fresh water puffers.i absolutely love them.i heard they were aggressive though.the main type of fish i want is an eay fish too breed like livebearers.im going too the store and getting lots of live plants too plant it and a cave type rock too put in there.i know there isnt a lot of options but i need it too just fit perfectly.please help me decide!!!

This might be streching it, but if you like predatory fish, maybe the Pike Livebearer, Belonesox belizanus would be a good choice, so long as you keep only one male and your tank is VERY well planted. Females grow to nine inches and should have at least 30 gallons.

ive looked for a pike livebearer(piketop minnow) but have not been sucsessful.they are very beautiful but i have too go too a place out of my state too get them.i know someone who would order them for me but it was too expensive($80)!!!
this is an option but i dont have too.i would like too add my 3fruit tetras but it depends if they are compadable.thanks for the suggestion.

Fruit tetras? I've never heard of them. Can you explain them?

check out http/www.deathbydyeing.org/ "fruit tetras" are generally Gymnocorymbus ternetzi (white skirt tetras) that are dipped or injected with dye to make them different colours.

there not really fruit tetras because they are not died but they were in the an aquarium with fruit tetras.now about m aquarium stock?my main prioraty is getting a fish that will breed.what about this?

3 white skirt tetras
2 dwarf gouramis
4 mollies
1 mystery snail

thats what i want but im afraid its too much for a 10gallon.i can change the mollies too platys.the mollies i get dont grow more than 2-3inches but give birth.my 9month old was only 2inches.
