what shall i put in it?

[GSD]

im getting a new 10gal soon,I want someting colourful and quite hardy...not a betta coz im already getting a 5gal for him seperatley.Any ideas whats not in the sig..hard i no!

 

[WILDER]

Black neon tetra's are hardy, also have glow light tetra's, have two types of tetra's in a 10gal that should be nice.

 

[GSD]

how many?And could i put some cardinal tetras with 2 guppies in there?Or i might just have a tank with lots of guppies how many guppies?

 

[WILDER]

Cardinals will be nice say six to eight of them, guppys, 2 females to one male, or just males say 4 can overstock abit if you have a very good filter.

 

[GSD]

so cani have 6 cardinals and 2 guppies?

 

[WILDER]

No lower than six in cardinals as they are a shoaling fish, you could get three to four guppys of one sex like males, as females can already be pregnant when you buy them.

You could try platys which i would say on average are hardier than guppys and come in a wide range of colors too; they pretty much have the same living specifications as guppys i.e all same gender groups or 2female to 1male minimum etc. Also in my experience although they can breed alot they don't on average produce as much fry per year as guppys so are a bit easier to handle.

 

[GSD]

yeah i have 7 platys in my other tank.I might try breeding guppies how many in th tank??

 

[mattski]

if you're breeding them, then two will do to start off with

 

[GSD]

Ok i might get afew female guppies and breed them with one on my males?What stuff do i need?

 

[bunjiweb]

I think 15-20 lamp-eyes and a couple of otos would be an amazing little setup

lampeyes? What are they? They must be tiny!

 

[bunjiweb]

lampeyes are tiny little fish that have irridecent eyes that look really cool when you have a large group of them. Especially if you have blue lighting...

Only grow to about 2 cm as far as i know.
