10 Gallon Stocking?

[realdeal]

Unfortunately my goldfish just died so I am looking to stock the tank with some community fish.

What are some of you recommendations?

cardinal tetras or hengeli rasbora^^ they're the bests

The goldfish was too small for the 10 gallon tank. Just for future reference, because of the large bioloads they make, a minimum of 15 gallons is recommended for the first fish and then 5 gallons for every one after, generally with a large filter.

As for community fish, Harlequin Rasboras are always my fish of choice, but they need to be in a school I wouldn't recommend a 10 gallon tank as there is not enough swimming room. You might want to look into Nano Fish.

You could put maybe 8 neon tetras in there. Some of the smaller barbs would also work. Are there any particular fish you like or don't like?

a planted tank with a school of neon tetras is very pretty.

As a change of pace from what everyone else is saying, I have a betta and 3 peppered cories in my 10g. Just a thought.

U like some platies mollies guppies. Or some neon tetras and cardinal.

Ive always heard a good target is 1" of fish per gallon is safe... maybe Im wrong, but thats the rule I follow and have had no problems
