Are These Fish Ok For A Ten Gallon?

[OneOnion]

Can the following fish be kept in a 10 gallon aquarium?

6 Black Neon Tetras
2 Male Platys
5 red cherry shrimp

And can different colored platys be kept together? Thanks.

Sounds fine to me. And yes different colours can be kept together.

Ok, thanks. Sorry but will this work too?

6 black neons
1 dwarf gourami
1 platy
5 cherrry shrimp

Thanks a ton.

10 gal isn't big enough for a dwarf gourami in my opinion.

So bioload wise, yes that's fine.

But fish wise...I would say no.

Okay. Thanks, I'll do the 2 platys then. And I'm switching to 2 female platys, heard that males can fight other males.

That is true! Females are rather passive and don't fight; just.... Watch out for babies, though! XD

I definitely will watch out for babies. I might even try selling them to try and make some money .Lol
