You should also check out the entries in just beginning so you can learn about cycling your tank if you're not aware of this. http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/General%20Freshwater/55574.html?200503090056 Jim Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody. -- Mark Twain

So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	Guppies will quickly overrun a tank that small. Platys get too big for a 10g tank. I believe Pepper Corys are also too big at 3-4 inches for a 10g tank. Sticking with a smaller variety would be wiser: C. Hasbrosus C. Aggassizi C. Ambiacus C. Panda Those are all smaller corys suited to a 10g tank. A really neat fish for a 10g tank is Threadfin Rainbowfish. Pencilfish are also very cool.

T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	If I'd start up another 10 gallon, I'd go with 3 male Guppies and 6 Pygmy Cories. That should be great for a beginning like yourself. You won't have a problem with feeding as these fish eat almost anything. Plus the Guppies will add some bright colors to the tank.

labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	The tiny tiny corys are a bit delicate for a first tank. I would go more with a trio of male guppies, and maybe a honey gourami as a centerpiece.
