I just set up a tank a couple of months ago. Ten gallons, gravel, fake plants, Tetra heater, and Tetra Whisper Internal Power filter for 2-10 gallon tank. I added 4 ghost shrimp, waited a couple of weeks and added 2 Mollies. I didn't research about cycling before I jumped in and bought fish. I also didn't realize that Mollies get too big for a 10 gallon tank. I am planning on getting a 20 gallon long tank soon and cycling it. I was wondering how soon my Mollies will out grow their ten gal. tank. I got them really small and they have already grown a lot in the last month. My ghost shrimp have also gotten huge. One is big enough to challenge the Mollies and is quite feisty. It even tries to attac the cat who likes to watch the fish. The cat was the reason I got the tank. Trying to distract him from my snake.
I want to add more fish to my current tank and then invest in a bigger tank this Spring. I have been looking at a 20 gallon long at Petsmart. But I was hoping to find a good deal on a used tank. when I didn't want a tank, I had several large ones offered to me. When I finally decided to set one up, no such luck. Yet.
Here is a list of the fish I want to buy.
Ballon Belly Molly-2 or 3
Dwarf Gourami - 1
Zebra Dano - 4 - 6
Scissor Tail Raspboro - 4 ?
Black Kuhli Loach - 3
Glofish - 6
Can I add all of these to my current tank? A few of them? What if I bought the smallest available of these fish? Will they all work in a 20 long tank? Or should I scale back my list?
