	Help With Stocking 10 Gallon Aquarium
ameloy33 Small Fry Posts: 7 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-May-2006	Hi, Im new. I was wondering if 6-7 Harlequin Rasboras a Coolie Loach, and/or a siamese flying fox were too much fish for a 10 gallon. Any other suggestions? Thanks!!!

Kuhliis, like other loaches, prefer to be kept in the company of their own kind. A flying fox would get a bit too large for a 10g. Are there any other bottom feeders you're interested in? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

ameloy33 Small Fry Posts: 7 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-May-2006	what schooling fish would you recommend besides the harlies? what would fit better in a 10 gallon?

Fish Guy Mega Fish Posts: 1091 Kudos: 1254 Votes: 2 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	Edited by Fish Guy Ok well there are some schoolers I would put in a ten gallon. Zebra danios, neon tetras, White Cloud Mountain Minnow ( prefer cold water but do well in a heated tank ),pencil fish, and cherry barbs is another but they dont really school but they hang out more, if that makes any sense hahaha. In terms of stock for your tank I would go with: 6 harlies 2 cherry barbs 2-3 coolie loachs or 5 Zebra danios 2-3 cherry barbs 2 ottos

I also don't like the idea of cories in a 10g. They really get too big. And the smaller types are too active for that size tank. Go with: 6 harlequin rasboras 2-3 cherry barbs 2 ottos *Kristin*
