I am setting up the 10 gallon office tank. I am thinking of going with Lemon tetras, Cherry Barbs, or other similar. I will need a clean up crew. I like corys but is 10 gallon big enuf>?? I plan on installing a small pvv cave at some point for whatever i get. Unsure if I will have algae, dont have a problem with my 75 gallon ut who knows.. HELp!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have black gravel if that helps with color choices lol:help: :help: :help:

I am setting up a 10 too, and have narrowed it down to otos or shrimp.

it seems like having inverts makes it all a little more difficult down the road though. it's a tough call.

I would suggest a pitbull pleco for a 10g. They only get 2.5" and are very good scavengers ang glass claeners. Also they are active day and night. Sorry i forget the L#

Nah, still too big for a 10 gal, unless he was alone. I say go with a few pretty snails or shrimp. Just don't overfeed and you should'nt have much clean up to do at all.

Well i finally decided on Lemon tetras in my 10 gallon. Thos lil boogers are eating well, but i notice they dont like anything on the bottom, so I am in need of a crew, any other ideas. If I go with a few corys how many and what kind in a 10?? Or would a snail do?? Shrimp are hard to come by around here sfor some reason, can get mystery snails however.

otos are great but they don't suck mulm... they just like algae.
