10 gallon stock ideas?

[Bettalover29]

So I am getting an old 10 gallon from a friend in a few weeks. I already have a 20 and have 5 female bettas and a few snails in there. I really like the look of dalmatian platys, black mollies, or just getting a divider and having 2 male bettas. I really want some input from more experienced people. I like dwarf gouramis but what other fish can I put with them?

. How many dalmatian platys can I have max?

I like the idea of some nano fish, like a few pygmy cories or something and some chili rasboras. Or like 3 or 4 peacock gudgeons and some rasboras.

those all sound like good ideas. may I suggest balloon mollies or teacup platys? I think mollies and platys should be reserved for larger tanks like 20 gallons, but you can look into balloon mollies, or teacup platys, which are a kind of dwarf version of themselves. I would do guppies or endlers personally.

Do guppies and the teacups and the baloon mollies breed easily? I can't have a ton of babies swimming around cause I don't have enough tanks

I am getting a 10 gallon soon and have no clue what to put in it. I have horrible experiences with neon tetras. What are some Hardy schooling fish to put in after cycling my new tank?

guppies

Right but don't they breed like crazy?

Rasboras, ember tetras

Hi all,
Cherry barbs are a species that can take a wide range of water parameters.
They are extremely peaceful and will colour up from what you see in the shop with good food and perhaps a few floating stem plants ?

guppys are great, but usually not a hardy option. endlers are very hardy in the hobby at the moment, but they are not a tight schooler if thats what your looking for.

Right but don't they breed like crazy?

thats their best quality

Ember tetras boraras rasboras of all kinds. White Cloud Mountain minnows (my favorite). Endlers as a honorable mention

I personally like serpae tetra in my tank

Serpaes are way too active for a ten gallon though, IMO, so I wouldn’t recommend them for this person.

Yeah maybe not for a ten I just figured since they stay below two inches

I know you wanna stick to schooling fish but another idea worth looking into for a ten is a shrimp tank

lamb chop rasbora, 6-7 of them. Beautiful hardy little guys with no breading issues to worry about.
