Stocking for 10g

[Fishguy1111]

I currently have 2 red wag platys, soon to have 3. What other fish can I put in the tank? I was thinking zebras or bleeding heart tetras. Any suggestions or comments?

Your pretty well stocked with 3 platy's in a 10g. They have a heavy bio-load. You might be able to put about 5 small tetra's like neons due to their very light bio-load or maybe some pygmy or dwarf cory cats.

Could I put more in of I add a sponge filter?

It's your tank but it not healthy to cram a lot of fish into such a small tank. Personally I wouldn't add more fish.

EDIT: If you didn't have platy's you could add a lot more nano fish and even shrimp. You could add shrimp but don't know if your platy's would bother them.

Sounds like I'll add 7 or so neons. I am prob gonna buy 55g tank when the next sale happens, so I have that to look forward too.

With a 55g you'll have a lot of stocking choices!

Yea. I'm gonna get an angel and a GBR pair, with some Cory's and hatchets, and a massive school of some tetra. Prob all South American fish.., strange how it worked out that way.
