Serpae tetra and black skirt

[hartgk01]

I have an heavily planted 10 gallon with 4 Serpae, 4 Columbia tetras and 4 Tiger Barbs.
ive been extremely lucky as they get along.
I have a small sponge filter and a small HOB. I’ve had this setup running for just a little over a year.

a 10 gallon is not big enough for any of those species and you need minimum 6 of each of them. I would recommend returning them and get something that will be comfortable like
Guppies
A betta
Dwarf frogs
Dwarf crayfish
Neon tetras and other 1-2inc tetras
Rasbora hets
Etc.
Im not saying all of these should be kept together, and I don’t know your water chemistry so I can’t give exact examples I’m just giving examples based on there size(note if you do get any schooling fish get atleast 6)
