Ideas For Tank

[Fishy333]

I have an idea of a stocking choice, I have done another topic like this but I'm changing my venue. I would like to try this in my 10 gallon tank, please give me all your ideas for a beautiful tank!

(1) guppy
(6) glofish
(2) platys
(2) neon tetras

I want a bottom feeder (I'd trade the neons for bottoms) but not a cory. Just because I tryed 2 corys and they died in 1 week and they were very expensive, so I'd like to try something else Remember to post your ideas too!

Hmmm. 10 gallon? How about;
1x Male guppy(so you don't have babies, unless you want some?)
6x Glofish
2x Male platies(again so you don't have babies, unless you want them?)
6x otocinclus catfish.

What do you think? I myself have oto's and they are really peaceful. They go about their own business by sticking to the side of the tank and eating the algae wafers I put in for them. If you want babies from the platies I would get 1 male and 2 females so he doesn't bother one female all the time.

Cheers,
Alessa!

Glad you liked it! My stocking for my 15 gallon is in my siggy so if your interested in anything else in my stocking, I'll be glad to help you swap it around so you can some of the fish you wanted in it.

is it normal for them to die like this tho? i removed him from the tank and i might try to feed him a fozen pea nuked in the microwave, unless he dies sooner. i am so sad

Try to get a tester or take some of your water to your LFS. Get them to write the results down on paper and post them on here. It may be your water quality, but I'm not sure.

ok, but like i said, i dont think i can get it tested for a while. WAY too busy

 

[Paradise3]

Yeah I know which is why I mentioned the LFS... Do you have someone who can take a sample down and get them to write the results down?

Cheers,
Alessa!

 

[Fishy333]

No, I don't but I think I'll be able to get to my LFS... I'll try my best to go this week.

 

[Paradise3]

OK. I hope you can get down because with your fish having diseases like that I think it might be your water quality.

Cheers,
Alessa!
