new tank

The only catfish that will fit in a 10 gallon is Otos and a small group of Cories. Cichlids generally need more room, so I would not reccomend them.

Guppies will be fine in a 10. You could do all male Guppies to prevent fry...so perhaps 5-6 Male Guppies, and then a trio of small Cory Cats, maybe even Pygmy Cories. :)

Or a school of a small Rasbora, or Tetra, or a Betta...
 
well just hope he doesnt get a transexual (girl that looks like a male) then hell half a tank full of fry in a month

No girl will look like male once they are full grown.You can clearly tell male from female by the anal fins. The only problem is when they are younger, because some males will look like girls for long time, until they get their gonopodium.
 
So it's a girl that looks like a male? It has a gonopodium, and it still gets pregnant?

Most likely she has some fancy coloring, which most people only associate with males. :)
 
it looked exactly like a male cuz he keeps all his males an females septorate so they dont over populate his tanks an he was telling me he thought one of his males looked pregnant. then like a day later there were fry in the tank.
 
This fish has a gonopodium and produces fry? Not about how it looks, or the coloring or anything, because any fish can have any coloring...but it has a gonopodium, and it produces fry? :unsure:
 
The guy may think its preggo because when a male is "in heat" his sperm appears above the gonopodium in a black-like pouch, thus it looks very similar to a female's gravid spot. Its impossible ( or at least to my knowledge ) that a male guppy can give birth to fry.
 
well no kidding its impossible for a guy to have babes. but dudes/dudets im telling you he had all males in this tank. ive had guppys for 2 years now. an hes had them for over 5 years. as long as ive lived here
 
Can I see a picture of this male, please? The one that had babies?

And he had all males? There is no way a female could have snuck in? There is no way a bright colored female with a longish tail is in there? He personally took every single fish out, and checked that it had a gonopodium?
 
ya sry bout that :p
sry but no pics my cam is trashed an i dont think he has a scanner. but it looks JUST LIKE A FREAKIN MALE. hes got her in the females now but it was kinda odd. the fry are in there own 10gal till he can sort them out
