Hi Guys,
SOrry I havent been around enought lately! been busy with school and moving and all of the fun stuff that comes with the new college experience.

Well my roommate and I decided that we would like a tank in our room, and already having a fully finctional ten gallon tank i decided I'd suppply the tank if he bought some fish for it.

Now my deal right now is the tank is home with a pair of Julidochromis rengani (Zambian Juies) and i dont want to take them with me. I know that some devastating over feeding or something will kill them, so will they do ok in a tank with some cherry shrimp and corries or would they eat the shrimp?
if not would they do ok with a pair of angels, a few danios, aCAE, two flying foxes and a black ghost?
\
Just want to mdetermine which will be the better place for them.
I've given up on breeding them, but would like to see them happily in a tank.

As far as the ten gallon, I want to take a handful of my cherries up with me and was wonderng what low maintanace hardy fish, but low budget, fish people have to recommend for a ten?

I can go for mostly anything, but i really dont want a betta, too cliche for me.

Thanks,
-Brandon

A dwarf gourami with either some neons/cardinals, or male guppies. It would have alot of color.

I was trying to think of more of an oddball tyoe fish to keep,
somthing much less mainstream...
I do have a few cherry shrimp i can throw in there,
and the tnak already has some dwarf lilies, aponogenetons, and some dwarf oniions growing in there, alog with i will throw in some DW that has some java fern on it and maybe an anubias or two.
the tank has a UGF and an internal tetra fuana filter,
THe lights are two CFLs that are dayligh 6500K and 13W.
I do have a DIY CO2 system i can use for it, but would rather not as the reactor tablets (works like alkaseltzer) are a bit pricey.

anyone have any other fish that would be abit more interesting?

roommate and i are going to go halfsies on the fish so it can be alittle bit more expensive...

I've done fairly well with Harlequins, Panda Corys and a male Betta together in a 10g, planted.

But,I can tell you from experience, keep that thing clean and keep the water changes frequent. I let a couple different illnesses take hold in there and have lost fish over the couple years I have had my 10g. I think that's really easy to let happen in a small tank like a 10g.

At least that's been my experience.
