Stocking Ideas

[Platiesareawesome]

Hello! I am currently cycling my tank (fishless, only a few days in) and I have been thinking about what fish I'm going to stock my tank with.

1. 3-5 platies

2. 2-3 platies, 5 neon tetras

3. 3 balloon mollies

4. 2-3 platies, 2-5 guppies

5. 6 ember tetras

6. 6 celestial pearl danios

7. 6 neon tetras

Are any of these stocking ideas going to be overstocked? Which one is best?

I have a 10 gallon tank by the way

I would go with the ember tetras and danios. The other fish will get too large for a 10 gallon in my opinion. By choosing these fish, you can have some beautiful schooling fish. You will also be able to get a bottom feeder like corydoras habrosus.

You could do even more than 6 of the ember tetras and cpds.
