10 Gallon Tank Fish

[Unknown10101]

I currently have a cycled 10 gallon tank with the following fish:

-2 Albino Cories
-1 Green Cory
-1 Clown Loach
-A ton of baby guppies
-4 Mollies
-3 Leapord Danios

I know that the Clown Loach is a problem. I'm giving him away, as well as the baby guppies. Also, I think the Cories may be a problem, and I was wondering if they are. Also, is anything else a problem. I'm pretty sure that one of my mollies is on it's way out. She's been acting really lethargic and I've had her for a year, and when I got her she was as big as she still is and I heard that their life-span is only 2 years. There's nothing visibly on her.I started off with wrong information and now I'm trying to make things right, so all advice is appreciated. Does anyone have any ideas of what fish to get/ get rid of? I also have a 1 gallon and 2.5 gallon tank but I'm not keeping fish in them right now. Thank you!

You are way overstocked, which you are aware of. Mollies need salt, have you been using any?

 

[Unknown10101]

Sometimes I do, but I've read (I think it was on this forum, maybe another) that you only add it when medicating. Is this true. Also, usually I don't because of the Cories. Aren't they intolerant of salt?

Cories are intolerant of salt, as are most fresh water fish, Mollies will be fine without salt as long as your water is exceptionally hard. The tank is also too small for the Danio's

Ok, that's what I thought. And my water is VERY hard.

I should have mentioned Cories' intolerance to salt in my earlier post, thanks Standby Setting!

IS there anything else that I need to take out/ take care of?

You should rehome your
-Danios
-Cories
-Clown Loach

Danios need swimming space and bigger groups.
Cories need to have at least 6 per type.
Clown loaches need schools and grow too big for a 10 gallon (but you know that already).
