Empty ten gallon...give me some ideas.

[fishtankfish]

I have a ten gallon to fill. I'm thinking possibly dwarf puffers, but i also like putting together little communities with diversity. Give me some combinations. Thanks.

How about a male betta with a few cory cats ?

 

[Toirtis]

Gold white clouds with pygmy cories, a couple of cherry shrimp...and several plants.

white cloud and otocinclus!
Otocinclus' are silly and so much fun to watch. Once you have them settled down, they are the cutest things

 

[mhaynes01]

i say sell it.... adn buy a bigger tank 8) , thats just me

I was going to set up a 10g tank fully planted with dwarf gouramis as the primary fish, but I can't find a female honey dwarf, so I guess I won't be doing that. So instead I am setting up a 2.5g planted or 5g planted tank probably for some shrimps...

I second Toirtis' idea! Anytime you can have pygmy cories, as a "center piece" fish--go for it.

You have seen all the really cheap C. hastatus and C. pygmaeus at Riverfront this past week, right?

It's make a nice breeding tank for a pair of German Rams or kribs.

Go with something totally original. Two Banjo Cats with a sand substrate and a lot of plants Hardly anyone has a tank full of fish that hide in the sand all day

 

[frshwaterfinatc]

go for a tiretrack eel, fine gravel/sand substrate, freshwater clams, and an african butterfly fish. Live plants of your choosing as well. And a tree-root cluster in the middle.

And something for the mid-water level... two congo tetras.

 

[cheezysquirrelz]

frshwaterfinatic, isnt that WAY too many fish for a 10 gal?

Plus, both tyretracks and congo tetras get far too large for 10s.

 

[Mothi]

and african butterfly should have more surface space than a 10g tank can provide it when it is an adult.

Do a pair fancy guppies with a cory.
