Any cool fish you can put in a 10 gallon

[azmodan]

I'm getting a 10g soon of 5 female bettas, 4 pygmy cories, 3 otocinclus vestitus, and 2 african dwarf frogs.

That sounds like a good stock... for a 20L.

Agreed. The females will fight eachother quite often in a 10 gallon as well. You need at least a 20. IMO, can be either l or h, but at least a 20.

I'm taking out the otocinclus anyways... dialing it down.

@Fishperson, I'm sorry but azmodan said 20L, which is 5 gallons. Your mistaken, he never said 20 gallons....

20L could be 20 liters or 20 Long (ie 30"x12"x12" footprint). The fish load you listed is a bit high for a 10 gallon, so I would assume azmodan was referring to the latter. The frogs alone need 5 gallons for the first and 2.5 gallons for each additional frog... They're very messy eaters. You can pull it off in a 10g, but water changes need to be 2x weekly to keep everything in line...

 

[azmodan]

Yeah, sorry, should have been more clear. 20L typically refers to a 20 gal "long" and 20l refers to 20 liters.

I usually keep my bettas with 3 panda cories, 3 neon tetras, 1 bristle nose Pleco and Siamese algae eaters, I feed algae wafers and baby pellet food to keep them happy and sometimes a bloodworm treat

Yeah,I agree with the cories, but the Pleco is too big for 10 gallon and betas aren't always good with neons because they have bright colors.maybe in a bigger tank but not a 10 gallon.siamese algae eaters also get too big

NinjaNomad:
20L is a 20 gallon long, 30x12x12, and 20h or 20t is 20 high or 20 tall, which are the same they just some say 20 tall some say high. A 20 high has dimensions of 24x12x16.

What is adf

 

[bettaowner]

African dwarf frog

 

[Leatherback1]

Oh.What are adfs like?I have never had frogs.

 

[bettaowner]

They're small almost dime sized frogs that spend all their time under water.

 

[Leatherback1]

Cool.Do fish hurt it

 

[Luananeko]

Fish don't hurt them, but the frogs do need some special feeding care to make sure the fish don't gobble up all their food They also won't eat flakes or pellets, so if you're not used to feeding frozen or live food it can be a little bit of a learning curve. They're worth it though! I love my froggies, they keep going into the weirdest "zen" poses and are such adorable beggars at feeding time.

 

[Leatherback1]

They seem pretty cool but im overstocked as it is so I won't be buying them for a while.Thx for the info just wanted to know more about them
