10 gallon setup for $10!

No Bettas, they are pretty but they are slow and quite boring IMO. Get

2 cories
2 platys
2 guppies
chinease alge eater

Yes That sounds happy to me!

CAE's get way to big for a 10 gallon and need a 30 gallon tank.

Hi MrMashashin

You got a great bargain there! I love gararge sales.

I agree with 55gallondude. Corys and a pair or two of guppies will give you interesting and active fish on bottom as well as on the top and middle areas of your tank.

TANK UPDATE!

Here's an over head shot

A full front shot

Another front shot

Here's my stand! When I got it it was all rusty and you could see where it was sanded for rust. I repainted it with Rust-Erall (hammered Black)

And last but not least, the filter !-on sale for $10-!

[MrMashashin]

I think the shellies are a fun idea. I don't know much about them, but they're cool. I believe a pair would be okay in a 10g, but I'll leave that determination to one of y'all that actually has some, cause I don't!

Do not get angels for a ten gallon - they will be quite unhappy.


Edited - Oops, never mind. Now that I see your tank setup, scratch the shellies. Looks good, have fun filling it!

 

[MrMashashin]

i might do rams or 2 pair of dwarf puffers. or just have it as a tetra tank!

I agree with 55.....embarassment.


However, whoever suggested angels should rethink that, angels get FAR too big for a tenner.....BAD!

Personally, I would get some tetras, maybe a female or short finned male betta, some cories...possibly platies....just anything small and entertaining...

Kribs are not good for a 10, but if you are interested in cichlids, a couple of rams, maybe 3 would go quite well too.

Third that embarrasing comment.



I would go with Dwarf Puffers, ottos, and bumblee bee gobies.

3 Dwarf Puffers

 

[MrMashashin]

why three? i was told a pair could live happly in a 5g tank, then wouldnt two pair be fine in a 10g?
