Attempt 4 With My 10 Gallon... Stocking Ideas?

[jglover]

Okay, fishless cycle done. And i've had it with platys. I love em, but they don't last. My LFS usually only has Platys, Swordtails, Glofish, tetras, and mollys. What would be best for my tank? PH is 6.5

I'd pass on the platies, mollies and swords. They're too big and they poop way too much for a 10 gallon tank. Stick with small tetras and do an Amazon themed tank.

And it needs to be heavily planted, id suggest just a mae betta and some shrimp.

This would be the best way to handle the tank if the other fish are all you can locally find. If you are willing to pay for shipping, you can get a much longer list of suitable fish. Best not to make it a community tank. Inverts and a single fish or a single school of fish is the best way to go.

Hahaha, yes my previous platys were pooping machines. Sadly all of the bettas they had were almost dead. I ended up trying guppies.

They are still alive, but they hate each other.
