New Tank Set Up ... Now Need Stocking Suggestions!

[nike12301]

So I've got my 10 gallon tank restarted. I added a 3d background with perfectly clean sand and some lava rock. Nothing crazy, but it's simple and I love the way it looks so far.

The tough part now is deciding what I want to put in it.

I have tetras, mollies, rasboras, gouramis, etc in my 36 gallon tank, so I'm used to the basic community fish.

What is something a little more advanced/exotic that would look good in my tank. I've never had inverts, so I'm thinking of that, but not sure what kind of fish I need.

Any ideas?

Pair of dwarf cichlids and 2 or 3 Stiphodon sp. gobies. Awesome !

African Dwarf frogs and a shoal of galaxy rasboras, or instead of the rasboras, a male betta.

What are the tank's dimentions?

Pair of apistogramma

Dwarf puffers? Add some more plants to the back and you're good to go. In a 10 gallon you could have three.

A pair of rams, if you have low pH and soft water.

In a 10 gallon you could have three.

Probably better just sticking with 2 unless you had the tank very heavily planted otherwise you could have a fight on your hands.

Second the Dwarf Puffer idea though.

I agree.
