	10 gallon Coldwater
Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003	Anyone have any ideas ??? I'm being made to take down the two tanks that had been on my desk @work, the 6 gallon betta and 10 gallon. I'm thinking of keeping the 10 in my room @home (that way my sister might not see it and complain ) but it would have to be coldwater (60F) to tropical (85F) range. Yes I'd have a heater (for winter) but I don't want it running much. Could guppies maybe fit the bill T'anks in advance . ^_^

Fancy guppies might be a bit sensitive for the temp fluctuation; how about the regular species (probably available as feeder gups)? Would Endlers be a possibility? One thing I do know; white clouds would fit the bill. How about some gold ones?

Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003	actually I was thinking feeder guppies. They had caught my eye when whetu and I were visiting one of the not so good () LFS's in my area...I was surprised @how pretty they were !. Endlers are too bright for my eyes....although... I did happen to notice that there are now females for sale in another one of my LFS's contemplates raising endlers. As for WCMM's I thought they prefer more swimming space than a 10 gallon has to offer . ^_^

(filter, decor, lighting, etc.) and I thought the same about the WCMM's but it would be neat if I was wrong. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

They are active, but not like Danios. And nobody has problems with Danios in 10 gallons. Plus, most Danios get over 2". WCMMs only grow to about 1.6", and they stay thin. In short, I see no reason why WCMMs can't be kept in a 10 gallon. If they are the fish in the tank, I'd go with 10 WCMMs. But, I push limits.
