Tropical 10g stocking

[anne_fong]

I am new to fishkeeping and i currently have a 10 gallon tank with 2 platies. The tank is cycling atm. I am wondering what r some good ideas for fish when the tank has finished cycling. I was thinking of neon tetras and a Pygmy Cory or panda Cory but I don't know what else. Any ideas?

Neons are small but very active and should have more swim space than a 10 gal can provide them. Corys need groups and Pandas are too large for a 10. You might be able to do 4 pygmys. Or a group of 6 nano fish like ember tetra, chili rasbora or celestial pearl danio. Platys are messy fish and have a high bioload because of this; two platys in a 10 gal stocks it about halfway so there isn't much room for a lot more.
