	Center Piece fish
judz Enthusiast Posts: 256 Kudos: 160 Votes: 5 Registered: 06-Jun-2005	Edited by judz i have a 10 gal non planted tank with faux plants. There is a 6month old albino bn pleco and 6 blood fins. The tank has a larger filter so there is med amount of current. I was thinking a female or male fighter or female/male dwarf gourmi pair. i was also thinking of adding a couple of dwarf frogs and maybe one black snail but see how it goes with the center piece fish first, the frogs and/or snail might be too much. any suggestions?

So a betta isnt a bad idea, at least with your current stocking, and tanksize. Might be an idea to move the BN on to a bigger tank unless hes tiny, a 10 gal is too small for them, and maybe replace it with a few amano shrimp, and a few plants.If your thinking about DG's, then a few plants will be appreciated by them.

I wouldn't do a pair of livebearers, the male will drive the female crazy Lowest M:F ratio I'd do with them is 1:2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
