Nice tank Caleb. Any idea what you are going to stock it with?
So now that my 10 gallon is fishless I can't decide what to stock it with. Here are my choices: coldwater tank with White Cloud Mountain Minnows and a Paradise Fish or White Cloud Mountain Minnows and Hillstream Loaches. What do you guys think? (I am aware that Hillstream Loaches do best with a current and I will git a small powerhead.)
*cough* nano reef *cough*

But, if you insist on going with your choices, then I would say skip the hillstreams and go with the paradise fish option.
Are you open to other cold water fish suggestions?

I really love the cleaner shrimp and I believe that's a porcelain crab? Might put those in my nano

Sorry, no more SW until I make more money (already told by the owner of my LFS, Triad Reef Critter's, that I can work there once I'm old enough) and yes I am open to other suggestions.
I suggest these to everyone, but it's still very rare to see them kept on this forum. I've only ran into about 3 other people that have ever had them in my entire time here.
Aphyosemion Australe - Lyretail killifish
Orange - Most common This was a pic of the male I used to have.

They breed without too much difficulty. They are mop spawners and you can safely ship the eggs which are really hardy tbh. The fish and their eggs sell pretty readily online as well.
If i had any still i would happily sell you some. My female died before i could get breeding them and i havent seen any more from our lfsMy fiance died when she saw them, so we're going to get some soon I hope! The plan is to move our guppies into my 20 and dedicate the 10 to them. Such gorgeous fish, thanks again for suggesting them!
Actually if you're breeding them... are you selling/shipping any eggs?

One thing of note, they do occasionally nip guppies. I would assume the same would happen to a betta. I've never seen a problem with any other fish though. There was never any permenant damage done though.
