ladyarya Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 1 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2005	I have a 10gal tank with one calico ryukin. He's a small guy - only about an inch, maybe two. I'm looking to put in more fish in the tank, but don't know what else I can add with him other than more ryunkins. My bf wants to add a small turtle, but I've never known turtles that small... I always thought they got much too large for a tank this size. I'm also open to upgrading the tank size, but I don't have the room for anything more than a 20g. Thanks!
