 | Fish For 10Gal With Sand |
resle   Enthusiast Posts: 273 Kudos: 112 Votes: 14 Registered: 09-Oct-2004   | i have an empty ten gallon with white sand, i was thinking of putting dwarf puffers and bumblebee gobies in there (i am aware that bumblebee gobies are brackish, i will get the ones that are in freshwater at the lfs, if you know what i mean) i am wondering what else could go in there; kuhli loaches? |

bcwcat22 Big Fish Posts: 395 Kudos: 314 Votes: 34 Registered: 16-Jul-2005 | I believe that both bumblebee gobys and puffers are considered species tank only fish. I could be wrong but I would exercise extreme caution with tankmates as some species of puffers can release toxins when attacked. "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man" Simpsons |

| bowfinking Hobbyist Posts: 140 Kudos: 37 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jan-2002 | Why not consider kuhli loaches and cory cats? Both love a sand substrate, especially the kuhli loaches. Other loaches appreciate it as well. So do freshwater flounders, though I am not sure as to how big they get. Another choice would be spiny eels, though you could only get one for a tank of your dimensions. |

| resle Enthusiast Posts: 273 Kudos: 112 Votes: 14 Registered: 09-Oct-2004 | not only are freshwater flounder flounders actually brackish but spiny eels get WAY to big for a ten if were talking about the same thing, thanks for the help though. i dont know what im going to put in there it really depends on whats available |

cichlid crazy Hobbyist Posts: 58 Kudos: 37 Registered: 01-Feb-2006   | I have an 11 gallon tank with coral sand in with an Amazonian Puffer and 2 Australian Redclaw Crayfish in - they get on fine together and basically ignore each other as long as they're well fed.  |
