Is it a tetra, a danio, a killi or a goldfish? There are alot of fish referred to as golden. When we know what you mean by golden, we can tell you if a betta will work or not. I know you have alot of fish in your 10g now that don't belong there. Are you selling them all? If not, what are you keeping? Remember a 10g is small, so stocking choices are quite limited. *Kristin*

I don't know what kind of pleco you have in mind, but avoid the common ones since they get over twelve inches. You don't really need one unless you are having a problem with algae, then in that case, go with an otto. I really don't know what kind of fish you have in mind.

You've also written about 'golden fish' (here)...we really need to know what kind of fish you're talking about before we can help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

They require at least a 55gal tank. Bettas are tropical fish and will require a warmer temperature than a goldfish will. No you do not need a pleco, but if you would like a bottom feeder you could try to find some otto cats. You may want to try this in your aquarium: ^_^ Inky
