What Should I Keep In My 10 Gallon Tank?

[Goober]

Sorry you guys...I know that this is the second time I ask this question but now I'm wondering of getting a 10 gallon tank because it's 3 times cheaper than the 20 gallon tank...haha...Im a bargain hunter. Well if you opened this please reply to my message...I need to get good combinations of fish to put in my 10 gallon tank so I can think of getting them. Based on the information given below please give your honest opinion of a good combination

1. I like small fish that swim in schools.

2. Not a big fan of slow swimmers.

3. I like fish that live long.

4. I like fish that are curious and explore around the tank instead of sitting down.

5. Fish that are odd and have lots of color.

So if you guys can help me in choosing so i dont really know what fish I should get because I'm really new to this.

You could get 5 to 6 lemon tetras, they school and they are colorful. Then if you want 2 corys like emerald corys because they don't get to big.

The problem wih tetra's once they feel safe and are not under threat, they just sit about, plus they soon get bored in a 10gal tank.

So is that why the tetras in my long 20g just sit around?

All mine do i'm fed up with them, x rays,rummy noses,glo lights,black neons, though the harlequins have livened up.

Hmmm...Interesting how they sit around after they get calm...Then do the corys have that problem?

O.K then propably corys ill try getting...

Harlequins would be good for the middle of the tank, if you get about eight of them.

When you say that I can get 8 of them is that how many I can fit in my 10 gal. tank? or can I get more with the 8 corys?

 

[WILDER]

8 corys are abit much in a 10gal for the bottom, i would say three, how about these.
