Hi,
I just recieved a 10g tank and it has been cycled (fishless) and i was wondering what to get. Anyone know any god fish combos? Anything you have would be great.
Thank you,
Dillon |

| Guppies, Mollies, Dwarf Cories, Black Tetras, Neon Tetras: All thoes are good and easily mix and match fish and for my 10 gallon thats still cycling im going to do mollies and dwarf cories, most like 6 mollies and 4 dwarf cories since my fillter thats comming is a bit large for the tank im gonna overstock a bit. |

If you want something a little unusual, you can get african dwarf frogs (but not clawed frogs).

zebra dominos, neons are nice, guppies, platies, tetras are good though they nip, angel fish are nice but territorial,
below are some nice fish combos minus the painted tetras |

Angels & plecos are too big for a 10 gallon.

If they're dwarf gouramis, yes. And depending on the type of barb, you might be able to get 4 or 5. But you couldn't get both and either of those options wouldn't really leave any room for other fish (ie clean up crew like cories, otos, etc).

If you're getting 4-5 barbs, I suggest getting cherry barbs. They're quite small and beautiful.. For gouramis, dwarf gourami's are the best bet. I prefer pearl gourami though.. Anyway, best of luck of your 10g tank  |

| Cories are really awsome, if I had another 10 gallon I'd make a species tank, the cories ive bought take a few days to warm up but once I added the mollies they started belliing around and s**k n plants and the gravel and sometimes they bullet to the top of the tank and then fire right back down! |

dont get tiger barbs if ur getting the grourmis becuz if u only get 4 or 5 .
ur fish (grourmis) wont have any spots to hide so most likey the barbs well fin nip and that and chase ur dwarf grourmis around alot. and if i was that dwarf grourmis i would say thats not a very fun life  |
