Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

What to add?
Ok I have a 10gal tank that is going through the cycling process right now. I have 3 glofish that I will be putting in it as soon as it finishes. I would like to add 3 more glofish for a total of 6 glofish. Can I put another species or how many fish can I put in a 10 gal tank. I would like to have some sort of Alge eater.

Anyone have any neat fish they would recommend that will play nice together?

Glofish aren't the best candidates for a 10 gallon tank, they swim at Mach-5 speed and need a 15 gallon tank to have room to zip around. I'd add only 2 glofish (making 5) and maybe get 2 or 3 otocinclus.

Remember that otos need an established tank, so don't add them until the tank's been set up for a few months at the least. Also, the tank needs to have algae present.
