Hey, I only have a small ten gallon which contains one Bolivian Ram, one Blue Ram, four Flame Tetras and four Chinese Algae Eaters. I am going to get rid of two alga eaters soon but my tank needs a a bit of a pick up. I was wondering what else I could put in the tank. Any suggestions?

Aside from the fact that they get to be a foot in length, aggressive, and robust, nothing.

i would suggest to get rid of the algae eaters too. other than that, it sounds like a nice tank, and i wouldn't add much more to it. if you get rid of all the CAE, you could put 3 little ottos in it instead.

Chinese algae eaters will definitely get way too large for a 10g.

Otherwise it might be a good idea to increase the school of tetras to five or six.

Cup Of Life Noodles wan't joking about the CIA's (chinese algae eaters) definately not for a 10 gal, not even one of them !

With 2 Rams and 4 tetras only, the tank is still overstocked.. If you live near Toronto I can give you a good price on a 29 gal tank soon if you like. Put the Rams in there and add some cories. Then you'll have a 10 gal
for your tetras (and more room in there to build your tetra school a bit) (with some ghost shrimp for cleaners) and a 5 gal hospital tank

That sounds great. Unfortunately I don't live near Toronto. My brother Matthew is up in toronto until tm. I guess it would depend on what part of Toronto he is in and if he would pick it up for me. What kind of price are you offering me? I am on a very tight budget because I am not able to work right now. I have been off for a couple of weeks. So if I could get your price that would be great and we can take it from there. Thanks

No, sorry he wont. He went back to England today. I think I better wait. My parents are planning to get me a new computer and I will have to pay them back along with a sewing machine. I'm still not working and I have absolutely no money. Sorry, I guess I can't afford to buy your tank from you.
