I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 guppies, 2 swordtails, and 3 glowfish. Is there any more room for other fish? and if so what types?

I am going to get a 30 gallon tank. What can i put in with 3 tiger barbs? How many tiger barbs should i get all together?

I also plan on get an algae eater for my 10 gallon tank in a few weeks.

how about a pair of mollies or a small school of neons,


in the 30, i would put barbs or quick tetras, nothing calm or flowy, if you do, you will probably get so mad at your tiger barbs for eating the fins off poor miss guppy you will toss them outside on the lawn

You already have quite a few fish for the size of your tank but your probably set on getting more. I say get 1 or 2 corys. These fish are scavengers and I think they're catfish. They're pretty funny to watch sniff the rocks and they spend alot of the time moving around. Ive found that they are fine not in schools but if you get more than one they do enjoy swimming together. Heres a pick of one

-You appear to be at your maximum..do you have more females than males? if not it usually leads to aggression and/or harassment!

-I would add at least 2-4 more tiger's, a group of 7 or so would be nice! Great variations out there too! Add other barb's or similar fish. Basically fish that can hold their own will work-no long fins though!
How about Emperor Tetra's? so neat!

I also plan on get an algae eater for my 10 gallon tank in a few weeks.
-Otto's are awesome algae eaters!
Good luck!

Dwarf Gourami's should be fine-add more Tiger's though! Or try Opaline or Gold Gourami's...You can also try Mollies, Platies, Swords, Dwarf Cichlids-lots of variety too!, Sharks, Loaches,etc...or large Tetra's!
Just remember Tiger's do best in a group!
