Tank Suggestions

[Addison]

I already have a tank so I know the whole process so please spare me of that, but I'm heading off to college in a month and would love to have a tank in my dorm. I can't have a tank over 10 Gal, so any suggestions on what I should put in it?

You could always do a betta....but you could also do some guppys if you really wanted to....or like two dwarf pea puffers...or a dwarf gourami and a small schooling fish or somthing....and of course there is also shrimp they are always cool...just a couple options lol

I don't wanna do betta fish that's for sure. I was thinking of some guppies and something else (something small that is). Do you think it would be possible to keep any plecos in a tank this size? I would really love to because I really like plecos? What about a black ghost knife fish or a killie? Any ideas on the "show piece fish" to the tank?

no pleco in a 10 gallon there are several species of killifish that can go in a ten gallon you could put some random small fish like a couple guppies, african dwarf frog and shrimp or something. are you going to have it planted?

 

[aquandrew]

black ghost knives also need 55 gallons so nogo on that either

That's what thought :/ and I haven't decided yet. Most likely it will be planted though

How about ember tetras, shrimp and a sparkling gourami?

Look up nano fish as they are great for 10g tanks. Endler's are one of my favorite and have great colors like guppies only smaller (males). In a 10g you could do 3-5 male guppies (I'd do males so you don't have fry to deal with and you get more color), along with a DG or Honey gourami.

Maybe try Least Killies, they are interesting and easy going. I have a crayfish in with mine. They very much stick to the surface and the crayfish, well you know where he lives. I would suggest an Alenie or CPOs. Marbles work well but they are not flashy.
