10 gallon thread rainbow fish?

[BizzareKid]

I was wondering if and how many thread rainbow fish I could add to my 10 gal stocked with 4 zebra danios and 3 ghost shrimp.

 

[Cynic]

In a 10G? Easy 0 sorry

 

[BizzareKid]

Really? Because I read that the minimum tank size is 10.

Threadfin Rainbows are very active fish and really need a bigger, longer tank! I keep 12 in my 220g. Just because a site says a certain size tank is needed doesn't mean it's big enough.

 

[BizzareKid]

Oh okay thank you

If you want some thing colorful, the endlers livebearer is a good option

 

[BizzareKid]

They are nice!

 

[bettaowner]

Some green or blue rasboras would look nice

 

[BizzareKid]

Yes! Galaxy Rasboras?

 

[bettaowner]

Galaxy rasboras could work

 

[BizzareKid]

Haha I have no idea where to get them though xD

 

[bettaowner]

Ember tetras could work

 

[BizzareKid]

Would any type of Cory's work?

 

[bettaowner]

Pygmy cories would be your best option

 

[BizzareKid]

Hmmm, I will try to look!

 

[azmodan]

Spotted blue eyes rainbow fish could work. I'd recommend rehoming the zebra danios first though.

 

[BizzareKid]

Can I ask why?

 

[Platiesareawesome]

Can I ask why?

Zebra danios are extremely active, and are probably best off in a 20 gallon long at least. Plus, you'll have more room for other fish if you re home them.

 

[BizzareKid]

Oh okay thank you!

I wouldn't keep celestial pearl danios with zebra danios even if you could find them. The cpd are quite shy and would be easily outcompeted for food.
