Echoing above, avoid the bristlenoses.
IMO Lampeye tetras are too large. Many feel neons are too active for a 10g but I'm not one of them. But I would get regular or even small neons since jumbo neons are alot older and usually more expensive. Harliquen Rasboras and Endlers are also good choices for a 10g.
I get all my fish from petsmart, and unfortunately, they only sell jumbo neons, I'll look up the rays boras and endless on their website, thanks
So, my black moor moved to the 50 gallon for now. Is this a good idea for a 10 gallon?
5-8 neon tetras
4 black kuhli loaches( they can be 4 inches max so they can be in a 10 gallon!)
3 or four African dwarf frogs
2 otocinclus
2 mystery( apple snails)
If I can leave something out it would be the snails
Also 8 ghost shrimp
Thanks
Any advice or things I need to know about these fish, thanks. I also do weekly water changes and have 2 10 gallon filters, thanks
If you get Otos skip the Snails. Too many Algae Eaters in a small tank.
Kuhlis prefer to bury themselves so Sand is best. Put sponges over the intake to keep sand out of filters. 2 HOB might create too much current in a small tank.
I would do 6 Neons
3 Amano Shrimp or 4 Ghost
3 Otos and stop
No Kuhlis till you see how your tests are running.
No Otos till you have Algae on walls.
Don't get your heart set on stock till you see how tank is doing and what is available AND healthy.
Ok, my Tests are excellent, everything good, so my loaches would do good
I also feed algae wafers, so that wouldnt help?
