Starter tank

[ThatTetraGuy]

Just wondering what's a better size for value out of a 10 or 20 gallon tank.

I would like to potentially stock:

Neon tetras

A Dwarf gourami

Harlequin Rasboras

Dwarf Cory's

Any changes to the fish list that will also help me make a better decision are appreciated.

Size is a major factor with any aquarium, I've always found bigger is better, look at aqua one tanks eg 380 or the 620.

K but any suggestions

A 20g Long is a better footprint for Cories. Or a 40g breeder tank.

And like I said before a Honey Gourami is a better choice than a DG.
IMHO. DGs often succumb to disease lately.

ThatTetraGuy, you have a bunch of different threads asking about stocking different sizes of tanks.

What tanks do you own now ?
What tanks are you planning to actually buy ?

Stocking for less than 20g tanks is pretty similar. Stocking for a 10g is somewhat limited.

It seems you keep asking the same questions ?

Not trying to be rude, just asking you to be clear.

Thanks Coursair you've really helped I appreciate it a lot. Here's what I'm thinking from what I've learnt for my first tank.

What do you think

Looks good to me, good even add a couple more pygmy Cory cats since there your only bottom feeder

 

[ThatTetraGuy]

Ok thanks will se if it works to what extent

 

[Coursair]

Pygmaeus will check out the bottom. But they are a mid level swimmer. They love to perch on plant leaves.

A Dwarf Gourami is pretty but in my area it's hard to find healthy ones. Many die from a DG disease.

Remember bigger tanks are easier to maintain and are more forgiving of mistakes and fluctuations

So between 10s and 20s, I would go for the 20

I've decided that bronze Cory's with the 20 is the best combination I'll find
