fishrneat Fingerling Posts: 34 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Mar-2005	I have a 10 gallon tank with: Many small snails (constantly breeding) A guppy( cant determine gender) 2 Neon tetras A glowlight tetra I was thinking of getting some more tetras, a male and female guppy ( want to breed) and some sort of other fish that will be at harmony with the fish. Any suggestions? Fishrneat

houston Fish Guru You want what when?

Tetra's need to be in schools, of at least 6. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/album?.dir=b5f2 http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
