A Betta will probably be your best bet. you might be able to do a small school of boraras, but they like blackwater, and water more acidic than yours.

Betta. What are the dimensions of the tank?

pH chasing is not necessary imo, its better to have a stable pH than one that's *close* to what you want, but constantly swinging. Try to choose fish that will be ok in your water, my pH is also around 8.0, but i have some softer water fishes that do great.

you definitely could! just use a plain old hang on back filter and take all the media out.

no, cherry shrimp will not eat their babies. if you have other fish in the tank, they are probably what is eating the babies, if you can't find any

a small fountain pump would suffice...

Yep, output on one side and input in rear corner

i highly recommend getting a group of bolivian rams and a school of danios. Both species are super personable, and i really love them in my 40 breeder

i wouldnt add any more. Stocking isnt just about gallonage, it's also about dimensions. yeah sure, the minimum tank size for a betta is 5 gallons, but it should be a longer 5 gallon, not a 4" by 4" floorspace with a height of 80" lol. Harley's need a lot of swimming room, and a 20 gallon long is...

it's best to put them on opposite sides, to get a good amount of flow

It’s because bamboo shrimp are fanning shrimp. If they’re picking for food, that’s a bad thing

Bamboo in the 10g is no good. They need lots of flow as well, so a canister filter is best best option for a 10 gallon would be Pygmy corys and/or ember Tetras Bamboo in the 10g is no good. They need lots of flow as well, so a canister filter is best best option for a 10 gallon would be Pygmy...

Yeah. What Snookus said. If you were looking to do different fish, and rehome the ones in there, embers would be fine. I have a school of 12 in my 11g

Herlequin rasboras are a no go in a 10 gallon. they're way too active for a 10g

the MTS will most likely dig into the dirt unless you had a *super* deep (4-5 in). I'd avoid them if you can.

yes, it will be fine for both otos and ADFs. The plants will be able to grow through sand or gravel no problem. (i'd do sand )

Cories don't like gravel, so I would change the substrate to sand Do you have any API general cure? I would give it a dose of that as well

I would do species only if you want the shell dwellers, ember tetras and a betta would work, make sure there’s lots of plants, so the tetras aren’t constantly stressed. To change substrate, just net the fish into a bucket, drain the tank, change the substrate, fill it back up, and put the fish...

a species only set up would be good, they like harder water, like pH of 8.5-9.0, high on the gH range. They need fine sand, like pool filter sand, cleaned escargot shells work well. They're pretty simple, but it can be slightly difficult to get the water hard enough for them

looking good! I recommend crypts for the tank, but I might just be biased
