New tank! Need fish ideas! Layout planned!

[Ewokbuns]

Yo! Whats up fishtank people! I'm currently in the process of setting up/cycling a NEW fish tank! 10 gal freshwater with sand! Still going through the cycle and all! The theme for this tank is Egyptian and its gonna look sweet! Anyways, I'm wondering what fish would look good in this setting? Its not a colorful tank for the most part, sand other similar colored decor with some live plants. Any suggestions?

Do you want bright colored fish or dull colored fish?

I was thinking something that would pop out!

Some micro rasboras or small tetras would look nice. If the tank was bigger I would have advised getting a pair of egyptian mouth brooders.

I'm interested in the rasboras, where could I get them.

Some fish stores might sell them if not you could ask the store to order them.

You could do a pretty large school of WCMM without a heater

I wouldn't put a large school of those in a 10g. They are really active.

Anyone else?

Maybe some livebearers

Hmm..i could do some live bearers..i was thinking of making it a guppy tank.

Or put in platys, a betta and some tetras, or even mollies those are
good choices.

 

[Tommy10]

That tank is to small for mollies

I am about to stock my 10 gallon tank with Gertrude Rainbow fish. You could also do Pacific Blue-eyed rainbow fish, Forktail, or thread fined rainbow fish as well. They are small but full of color and life.

What about making it a shrimp tank?
