SheKoi   Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004   | i'm dismantling my ~10g tank this week with the fish going into a new 72gallon (US). i'm giving the 10g to my girlfriends sister whos coming to visit this weekend. the tank is 23x7x16 inches with exturnal filter in the hood, 15W light and 100W heater. anyway need list of stocks to give them - they've never kept fish before - so all easy care for fish needed. i've explained cycling etc just need ideas for them. cheers shekoi www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk |

crazyred     Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005   | For a 10 I like a dwarf gourami and a SMALL group of cherry barbs (maybe 2 F, 1 M) OR a small group of harlequin rasboras.   "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."  |

| crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005 | Cherry barbs are one barb species that doesn't really "shoal" They would do fine alone or in a group of about 6 without anything else; less if you put something else, like a dwarf gourami. I think tiger barbs need a bigger space since they are a barb species that does better the larger the group. I would be reluctant to recommend guppies for a 10 unless they are all female (or all male), and I don't think they would do well with a beta (nippy). "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |
