10 gallon aquariums

[aquariumlover10]

I have 4 guppies, 1 up side down catfish, 1 dalmatian molly and 2 dalmatian molly fry I think in a 10 gallon aquarium with a 55 gallon filter what fish do you recommend.

I recommend a larger tank perhaps.

They way guppies and mollies breed I think you are going to have a really full tank quickly.

Here's what i got.
You're overstocked. You would need at least 3 upside down catfish, the male:female ratio rate for the guppy is 1:2 to not experience as much problems.
You're catfish will quickly outgrow the tank, i suggest re-homing it.

were so setting up a 55 gallon African tank and I'm going to put the catfish in it. and none of them are full grown yet.

Guppies might still be a problem. :3

You are crowding and overstocking.
Possibly stunting growth.

I'm thinking about buying a 1.5 gallon breeding tank under $20. what store do you recommend.

Craigslist local ads are a good way to find a cheap tank.

IMO I don't like (almost hate) when home aquarists breed fish for fun. Yo need to think about what you are going to do with the fry, like food, housing, getting rid of them, etc. Don't mean to be harsh but you really need to fix your current tank before buying a tiny 'tank'.

A 1.5 gallon breeding tank IMO isn't a good idea. That will be stocked with barley and fry with no room for them to grow. If you are interested in breeding, get another 10 gal. On craigslist there's always some for like 25 bux. Agree with over stocked

I'm going to sell them to petsmart.
