Stupid question
First of all I'd like to say I'm so excited that
My 10gs are finished cycling!!! Woot! Anyways... I did a large 85/ 90% PWC and one of my tanks had a dead fly covered it something... Will thy hurt my tank ? I had fungus in that tank but I tore it down and cleaned it in very hot water! The water stunk but I cycled with fish flakes... Anyways the fly thing natural ? Did he just have bacteria on him ? I have no idea how long he'd been in there! Lol

Both tanks look great, Flossie! I love that bridge!! 
I wouldn't think that a fly would bother anything, (especially if you did a pwc after removing it).
Congrats on your cycles! What type of fishes do you plan on stocking?

Your hubby has good taste!  I was wanting to get one of those for my 10g, but I would miss my li'l rustic house. lol
Daileene got me addicted to Harlequin Rasboras. They are very unique and fun to watch! I highly recommend them! I'm planning on getting more for my 10g once I get my Mollies healthy again, (hopefully).

Those are pretty cool little guys.. I really like the rummy nose tetras but I believe they require more space

The bridge is 20 bucks at PetSmart I can't remember if that's what I paid or not. The other tank I just bought the two plants lol not much money in that one haha maybe it'll become planted one day. Hopefully

IMO danios don't belong in a ten gallon, unless they're celestial pearl danios. All others should be kept in a twenty gallon.

shrimp are VERY fun in a ten gal, especaily if you do a shrimp only tank. And if you are eventually wanting a planted tank, your shrimp would absolutly love you.

go with cherry shrimp, all you need to do is keep some plants in there, keep the water clean, and barely feed them every once in a while.
