I'm sorry if im getting annoying with all these stupid posts, but i like to get alot of opinions. So, as some of you know my D. gourami just past away. now I need so ideas on what to stock my 10 gallon with... something that wont die of a random disease a few days after i get it and preferably NOT a betta, because i know some of you will say that. i;m getting one soon to put in my 5 gal. so, any suggestions or ideas would help, thanks you.

btw: i already got 7 ghost shrimp

Don't forget to sterilize the tank with bleach first!

Butters

I did! I cleaned everything in both of the tanks that he was in, so im good to go, but im still probably gunna wait a little bit before i get some more fish.

Hi butters
Dont forget to cycle the tanks as you have just killed off everything with the bleech.
I would suggest a small school of zebra danio , a mix of standard , long fin and gold . They are a hardy fish . 6-7 in your 10g would be the max I would recommend .
Hope this helps

Hello Butters,
I agree with Seedy,
I had zebra danios as well, long fin and regulars and was very surprised at how much I liked these little guys! They are very active and playful and small enough to put into your ten gal tank. And as Seedy mentioned, its a good idea to get your tank cycled before adding any fish tho.
Good luck with your tank..and sorry to hear you lost your D. Gourami.

thanks for the advice guys, I think some danios would be pretty cool. but should i get 6-7 or should i just get like 5 so i dont upset the bio-load to much?

I think that 2 or 3 dwarf puffers would be awesome!

Butters

that would be pretty neat, but dont they need heavily planted tanks and live plants? because i have fake plants and not heavily planted, like a couple in the back and 1 or 2 on each side. but still, that would be kind of cool.
