What Can I Put In A 10 Gallon Tank?

[little_mermaid]

Hey Everyone,
It has been awhile since I have posted on here...but I am looking to get some new fish or a single fish to put in my 10-Gallon tank. What fish(es), according to size, would be appropriate for such a tank? I used to have a Betta Sorority, but I am not doing that again! I am left with only one female Betta now! They're just brutal to each other! Anyways, I was looking at Cichlids, but some people seem to think they need a bigger tank? Suggestions would be grand!

I would agree that cichlids are to big for a 10 gallon. How about platys, guppies, tetras, or rasboras?

you could keep a pair of apistogramma cacatuoides in a 10 gallon with nothing else

10G would be fine for any Apistos, agreed with the cacatuoides.

WOW! I just wondered what the apistogramma cacatuoides was so I looked it up on google and they are beautiful....
Do they have a more common name? Just wondering as I cant even prenounce that

your best off sticking to latin names as some LFS's confuse species by using common names

apistogramma agassizzi
apistogramma boreli
apistogramma trifasciata
apistogramma panduro

 

[K-Holed]

You might see them going under the name of

Cockatoo Apisto
Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid
Double-Red
Triple-red

As mentioned, you're best going off the latin names.

You could have a ram with a small shoal (maybe 6 or so) small tetra types with the tank nicely planted up

 

[The young one]

I wouldn't suggest a ram as they need lots of hiding places and good plant cover.

 

[kizno1]

i agree a pair of apisto would work well i have a pair of apistogramma agassizzi in a 10g

 

[hensonc4098]

That's why I said with the tank nicely planted up

 

[Truck]

its deffo too small for a ram
and most fish that are acceptable as tank mates for rams wont fit in here.
