Community Tank Under 4 Inches

[GuppiesRGr8]

Hi I'm looking for a good community aquarium fishes that are under 4 inches and are nice to little fish. 8)

[GuppiesRGr8]

Hi there my tank size is a 10 gallon. Because I'm new to fish keeping and after a while I might get a bigger one.

Neon tetras might get bullied would cardinal tetras do?

 

[catastrophi]

what all do you have in this tank?

 

[GuppiesRGr8]

what fish do you already have in it?

I'm still cycling it with 4 guppies 1 male and 3 females this is the last week!

You wouldnt want too many more, 10's are really quite small...

I'd say several neons, or a couple phantom tetras, or glowlight tetras... they dont get too big. You'll only be able to get a couple more fish until you're full stocked, though, just keep that in mind

Thanks. My ideal tank would be the 4 guppies 6 cardinal tetras and 6 glowlight tetras and 3 panda corys.
This would be over a space of time though

Do you think that amount of fish is okay or will it be over stocked.

 

[SiriusStarr]

Oh no no, that's way over stocked. Think of it this way: one small fish per each gallon of water. The general rule is a gallon of water for every inch of fish.

You'd be stocked with just the guppies and the cardinals, and even then its pushing it a bit.

If you want tetras, I'd suggest the glowlights over the cardinals, simply because they're much hardier; cardinals tend to be more sensitive.

But yeah, I'd say like 4-5 small tetras with your guppies and you're stocked.

Or you could get your cories instead of the other fish.

How about 5 glowlights

and 4 pygmaeus cories.

Keep in mind, you WILL have fry from the Guppies, and the fry will quickly populate your tank. All of them may not survive, but most likely some will. Allow space for raising the fry. Also, it'd be best to find somewhere you could sell/give them to.

 

[Somethings Fishy Here]

With four guppies already, I'd stick to some form of tetra and avoid anything like swordtails obviously. I also have two cories in my 10 gallon, and I know some people would say keeping less than 6 is blasphemy, but I have always only had 2 or 3 in every aquarium I've ever had, and they've all led happy and long lives.

 

[GuppiesRGr8]

Hi thanks for your advice. Would this tank be okay if I did'nt have guppies, 3 neon tetras, 3 black neon tetras, 3 corys and a coolie loach?

Because my mate said that he would like the guppies for his 4ft guppie tank.
