Tank ready for new fish

[fishyme]

Hi all, well next week my tank will be ready for some new fish!!! I'm thinking of some neons, sword tails and mollies, 3 of each in a 10 gallon. Will they do fine together? I'd rather ask here than trust the lfs!!!

Another selection I was thinking about is:

3 fancy guppies
4 neon tetras
3 Mollies

What do you think about this set-up? Would it work well?

What color is your gravel?

My gravel is multi colored, dark blue, green and purple.

if you have neons, you ought to have at least 5 of them, because they're schooling fish.

how about 5 neon tetras, 3 fancy guppies and a trio of cories (maybe 2 bronze and an albino ). i think thats a tad overstocked, but if you add them a few at a time, you should be ok

i think you should go with

1 apple snail
3 neon tetras
3 red eye tetras
and any type of gourami ( like one honey, or duarf )

and get a black background and all their colors will show up great! and mabey some sand. sorry, i got carried away.

Hi all, Thanks for all your great responses!!! I think I'll go with 5 neons, 3 fancy guppies and a gourami... That should be a good mix I think. As long as the Gourami doesn't make luch out of the neons...

i don't know, that type of gourami gets big compared to the neons, and i would get a cleening fish like a bristel nose pleco, or a snail of some sort, if you get a gourami get a jewel or honey, or a duarff.
