    Small pleco for 10gallon?

    You might want to also try a few Hong kong pleco's or as there also called Butterfly loaches, they're cute little things and really fast. If you get a group of them they are alot happier and spend more time out in the light etc.

    Breeding Tiger Barbs

    Yeah, sure, think there might be a problem with the female though, she's staying at the bottom, and the male does'nt look like he's entertaining her, just harassing, if it's not sorted in a few hours I'll remove him, just in case. Hope it still works.
