New Tank! (please Help!)

[kevinthecow]

Omg, woot. TMR I will be getting a 10-20 G tank, not sure but it has been cycled for what I know of. (used)

10 - 50$
20 - 80$ Im sure it comes with everything.

Good deal? Which should I get? I'll be getting 40$ from my friend because he bought my old tank.

So, really the tank would be

10 - 10$
20 - 40$

What should I put? I'm really into Clown Loaches, school of tetras. (Alot), Maybe a fire bellied newt or a blue crayfish.

Questions :

Blue crayfish. If its 10G, one by itself, right? If its 20G, two?

The crayfish is 4$ FOR A BABY! 10$ for a med baby and 16$ for a large baby. They arent adult, but pretty small , at least 3"-0.5"

FB Newt :

I think, its half land right? How much % of the tank will need water? How many can I keep for 10, 20G?

Tetras : Lulz, 1" per gallon rule? or more? (Will be Glow lights, neons, and blacks. prolly gonna have a few more species too.)



thanks for the help guys.

EDIT EDIT EDIT! : I have till tmr at 11:00 to make up my mind, my prolly only chance of going to my lfs.

So far my list :

1. Crayfish. Just crayfish unless a type of fish i suggested. You think two would be fine in there?
2. Tetras, a school of them. More likely only blacks, neons and glow lights.
3. Frogs. ADFS. tons of adfs. THEY'RE AWESOME
4. Yellow/blue/red gouramis. (How many)
5. Tiger Barbs! (How many)
6. Fancy goldfishes. (how many if I did black moores and lionheads)
7. Assort. fish

I don't think I will plant the tank. PM me if you can teach me about planted tanks. (do they need fertilizer, and such?)

HEEELP! More likely I'll be with 1, 2 or 6.

Should I stick with the 1G 1" rule?

Get the bigger one! Once you start putting fish in you'll want to put in more and regret not having a bigger tank. It's always like that. XP

I've never had crayfish so i can't really answer that...

clown loaches are a no-no. They get very large and require at least 75 gallons. So unless you plan to upgrade i wouldn't get them.

Tetras i go with the 1inch per gallon rule. Don't forget to account for growth too they don't stay that tiny and cute forever!
