What To Stock For My 10 Gal

[tmoney7]

Okay so i got another 10 gal going but it is only in its 2nd day of cycling so i have a ways to go before i actually can put anything in it, but i was trying to decide on what i want to put in it.  I personally love the small schooling fish but you don't have very many options for a 10 gal there .  So what my thoughts were either get a betta and have him live in there with maybe some nerites if the algae got really bad like in my other 10 gal, get some more pygmy corys 

. Or perhaps get some guppys just because i love the challenge and work of breeding fish and i have heard they are pretty easy but like i said also am a fan of small fish.  
 
Any one have any thoughts or suggestions!!

Plenty of schooling fish to choose from, have a look at this list  http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/418749-nano-fish/

Rummy nose tetras school really nicely

Agreed there, and very beautiful, but I believe they need a bigger tank than this

Don't get rummy nose, need a four foot tank as they're really active. Plenty of micro rasboras to choose from! And ottos if you want some algae eating fish

Fair doo's. rasboras will add nice colour too

Yeah how many guppy's do you guys think i could have in the tank

 

[Blondielovesfish]

I'd only put about 5 guppies in there. You might be able to have more but that would be the maximum I would personally have.
 
If you want to breed them, remember to have a female to male ratio of 2:1.

yeah i agree with BLF although one might ask what filtration are you running.

How about shell dwellers? They are a bit challenging, But worth the challenge

 

[Ch4rlie]

Dunno if you like Endlers? They're smaller so you could have decent shoal of those.

Not in a 10gallon, IMO. 15-20 at the absolute minimum.

Personally I would do either guppies or endlers or a mix of both. They are very colorful and interesting to watch! As mentioned before, 2 females to 1male. If you decide to mix, keep in mind that they can and will interbreed

 

[tmoney7]

Yeah i would be curious to try endlers just because they are a smaller breed and i will be able to have more in there but i will have to see if they have them at my LFS.

I am running an aquaclear 20 with sponge, carbon, and bio-max filters in it.

hmm seing you as in the US they probaly wont have PURE endlers so you might have to ask them to order some.
