10 gallon newbie

[mhjh2112]

I bought my son a 10 gallon tank. So far I have two zebra danios, I snail and 1 albino Cory. Can I add anything else without overstocking?

 

[Nickie]

You could add another 3 or 4 more smaller maybe schooling fish in the tank!

I would get 3 more zebra danios and 3-4 more corys as they are both schooling fish. And welcome to AA!

Did you cycle your tank?

 

[BlaseMrNiceguy]

Danios are a little too active for a tank that small I would consider rehomeing them and starting fresh if you can't I understand just keep an eye on what you have to make sure they are ok and try to upgrade soon.

 

[mhjh2112]

Yes I cycled. I just bought the fish. So I can take them back. I wanted a little more variety. What do anyone reccommend to stock a 10 gallon?

If you want a few fish I say your best bet would be to do micro fish, you could put like 5-7 in there with some snails and red cherry shrimp. Look into green neon tetras, ember tetras, galaxy rasboras, chili rasboras, and endler live bearers there are more those ate just my favorites.

The current fish need a twenty long tank
Some guppies or a platy along with ember tetras or chili rasboras would look great

 

[Nickie]

Yes i agree

 

[bettaowner]

Jae barbs are another amazing micro fish.

Killifish are a wonderful looking tropical fish.

Well I took the zebra danios back and I invested in platys. I'm still looking for another albino Cory or two. Everyone seems to be out. But, the fish look great! Thanks!
