New 10 Gallon Freshwater Tank

[markah1]

Hey everybody. I've cycled my 10 gallon tank for a few weeks and finally added some life to my tank. I haven't had a tank since I was very young and thought a 10 gallon would be a nice touch to my college apartment.

Yesterday I purchased 3 Harlequin Rasboras and 4 ghost shrimp from a local aquarium shop.

I've done some research on how to NOT overstock a tank but because different people have different opinions, I thought I'd ask you guys.

I just want some suggestions on what else I can put in that would get along with my rasboras and shrimp. My tank is at around 80 degrees right now and the filter seems to be working fine.

I'm new to this and I am open to all suggestions. Thanks everybody!

I agree you should have a minimum of 6 harlequins. I have them and they are lovely fish

Definitly get more Harlequins, they do much better in larger groups.

Ok well awesome! I will do exactly that what each of you have told me. Three more Harlequins it is. I agree jenjen. These fish are among the most active fish I've ever had. They seem to be extremely playful with each other.

I'm not sure if I would be allowed to get any more fish but what would be a good algae eating fish that would be ok with my ghost shrimp? Thanks for the help so far. It is greatly appreciated!
