I want a species only tank , but I don't want to have to buy a heater , so what are some cool , easy , and cheap fish that can be without a heater ? Oh and it's going to be a 10 gallon tank
 
Does anyone know if American flag fish could be in a 10 gallon ? And if they can , can you please tell me how much can be in a 10 gallon .
 
you could put a flag fish in there. their temp needs are 66-72 degrees so a little cooler than tropical so you would probably be good. guppies do fine in colder tanks some people prefer putting guppies in a cold tank because it makes them grow slower. weathered loaches do good in coldwater but im not sure about recommended tank size for that one

I've been wanting flag fish :D , I just don't know how much to get in a 10 gallon
 
Weather loaches are lovely, but I think they need a slightly bigger tank :( A paradise fish could be put in coldwater 10G though, on it's own. A shoal of danios, GCMM's, WCMM's or a borneo sucker (although they need a powerhead) could also go in there :) Some shops also do platys, guppies and rosy barbs in coldwater too :)
