Help me chose a fish for my 10 gallon planted tank.
I am considering dwarf Rasbora or neon tetras. Rasboras are smaller so I can keep a larger school. Neons are more colorful in my opinion, but the fear of neon tetra disease is a concern. Neons are a little to common but I always wanted them. Any other suggestions are fine. Tanks mates will include 2 platys and 3 dwarf cories. Tank is cycled for a year. 7.5 ph |

Your tank is actually almost fully stocked as is. Do you really have room for even a small school?
I might be conflicting with what I just said, but I would go for the neons. I actually prefer them, too. Tammy This post has been edited by TammyLiz: Apr 15 2006, 06:29 PM |

I think you can pop 6 dwarf Rasbora in there, but then thats your max on inhabitants...

Taking out the platys and cories, you could probably get away with up to 20 neons in there if you wanted. But you would have to work up to it slowly to let bacteria catch up to the extra load.
But probably a better option for you is maybe just 6 neons. With a ph of 7.5 and it being planted too, you could also put some shrimp in there to make it more interesting. |

Personally, I'd keep the trio of Corydoras, but get rid of the platties, which will give your new group of 10 Neon Tetra a little more space...
