my 10g w/ neon tetra

[theusedmyr]

so, this is my 10 gallon tank. first, and only, tank. right now i've got 5 neon tetra, 8 ghost shrimp, and a still small rubberlip pleco. when he gets a bit bigger i will be giving him to my gf's dad. he has a much larger tank and would gladly take him. 3 amazon swords, 1 anubius. i want to get some moss for my dw, i've heard that you can break up a moss ball and attach those to it so im thinking about doing that.

let me know if you have any suggestions or comments about my setup.

Looks nice! Glad to hear you have a home in mind for that pleco as it will outgrow that tank pretty quickly.

If you are hunting for a catfish that will eat algae and work in a 10g, than Oto cats are what you are looking for. You could do a trio of those.

If you just want some interesting bottom feeder types (no algae control) than I would recommend 3-4 dwarf or pygmy cory cats

haha yea, ive been trying to work cory cats in. but because the only fish store anywhere close to me is petsmart, im restricted to getting fish they have... and they dont have any small corys. just albino and emerald.
i REALLY want some corys tho. haha. ill probably look around today for a fish store.

oh and with the corys, would the 8 shrimp still be alright? or do you think it would be difficult for them to get food? as the corys would probably beat them to it?
