10 Gallon Stock Ideas

[Sandrock14]

Hello everyone,

I have a 10 gallon tank that has been running for about 10 months. I previously had swordtails but recently traded them in. The only fish currently in the 10 gallon is a juvenile Zebra Pleco.

 

I am looking for stocking ideas? I'd like to get something with a personality. I currently already have a betta in another tank and tetras in a 3rd tank. I'm looking for something a little different. Please let me know your ideas and thoughts!

Pretty boy!

A trio of honey gourami would work. Or up to 15 chili rasboras, or other micro rasboras. Shrimp of course. Too small for any cory except pygmy. and they'd like more swimming space. 1 giant betta. or a wild betta in a dark water tank. Possibly a breeding pair of betta albimarginata in a dark tank?

I have 15 chili rasboras and 6 Amano shrimp in a 10 gal planted tank. It’s a happy, lively combo . Very low bioload from both species.

+1 Honey Gourami

Thank you!!!

 

Have any of you all kept a single Honey Gourami? Was it interactive and did it get lonely?

I think pea puffers could also work but from what I have heard it would be a species only tank.

I have one currently. But not for long. The tank has lost a few of its inhabitants, so going to move him into a 75g and redo the tank. She had other companions for a couple of years. Only one gourami though. She seemed to do just fine in the tank, constantly moving and searching. Lonely? Not sure how you tell, but behavior was typical for her.

Micro rasbora. chilis would really pop with a black background! 

Or honey.

my LFS had a large amount of Chili Rasboras the other day, they definitely looked nice.

I am inbetween Chilis, Honey Gourami, and Indostomus Crocodilus. Has anyone had the Crocodilus? I just started researching the Crocodilus.

I would do a short fin koi betta.
