Open as requested

 

[Redshark1]

Great list thanks and I will enjoy looking up the many fish I don't know.

To nitpick haha! "up to one" ?

Lol, I just did that because I had "up to" for pretty much everything else, and I like symmetry.

 

[Plecomaker]

id gladly debate Xiphophorus clemenciae, while their size might work, their temper will often not. I wouldn't keep groups like that in this tank size.

Good to know. Would one or two be OK in this size tank?

 

[Plecomaker]

Good to know. Would one or two be OK in this size tank?

one might, its that usual swordtail argumentative thing, just in fun size

you might even get something small in with 1 instead, maybe shrimp or some other tiny fish, I think they mostly argue with each other

 

[Anders247]

Thank you! I'll change it.

 

[Catfish12345]

Wow, you outdid yourself! How long did it take?

 

[Anders247]

Lol, it's still ongoing.

Anyway notice this in the first post.

**Mod note**
To keep this list clean please use restrict comments and suggestions to the comment and suggestion thread https://www.fishlore.com/aquariumfishforum/threads/stocking-options-for-10-gallons.200264/

To reiterate, let's keep this list clear of chatter
Suggestions and comments can be made in thread that is linked.

 

[junebug]

Anders, for the wild bettas you've listed, I would suggest removing any of them with an adult size larger than 2".

Also note that for any of the wild bettas suitable to a ten gallon tank, you can very easily keep pairs, trios, reverse trios, and for the smallest species (the dwarf bubblenesters) you can keep much larger groups. Wild bettas all need planted tanks as well.

 

[Anders247]

Thank you for the info. I will change it.
I don't believe I have any bettas over 2 inches, but I can go back and check to be sure. My thing was 'centerpiece' fish over 2 inches, no, and schooling fish over 1 inch, no.

 

[junebug]

Pugnax complex species get really large. I had one fish from the same complex that was well over 7" long.

Also wild bettas aren't very good centerpiece fish because they are super super shy. They do best in species only tanks or with other very timid fish (as long as they can hold their own against the bettas)

I know, by centerpiece type fish I meant fish that don't need to be kept in schools. Probably the wrong word to use, lol.

Edit: removed pugnax.

 

[Pixle]

Hey Anders247, what about aquatic amphibians like the Axolotl?

 

[TexasDomer]

Axolotls need a tank bigger than a 10 gal. But this is a fish forum, so it makes sense only to include fish. Herps would be another huge list.

 

[Anders247]

Yeah, amphibians aren't a part of it, and axolotls get too big.

 

[BigBeefBeanBurrito]

WOW! Anders247, you didn't have to do all that. I guess I have to get to work looking at all the fish. Also I was wondering if 2-3 african dwarf frogs would work or if anyone knew any reputable sources.

 

[Anders247]

Yes, 2-3 is fine. You can do up to 4.

Haha, I'm not even done yet either.
