well maybe i am hopin to get 1 more glowing fish and about 3 neons and i hope they school.maybe another male guppy or 2 and about 3 corys. For now i just want a small community tank. For christmass i am gonna get a 55 gallon. I am very excited.I figured i would get as much practice in on my ten gal that way i will be ready.

Plan your stocking carefully!! If you do get a larger tank, it would be great to move over the fish from your 10g and keep that 10g tank as a QT tank. I would recommend just getting 3 more of each of the tetras you have for now, and a few corys if you want. I made the mistake of stocking my 2 tanks I had with lots of different schools of fish and once I combined them into a larger tank they really don't look all that great. A few big schools will look much cooler than many schools made up of only a few fish. Your 55g would be neat with 2 schools of the tetras (like 10 a piece) 6-or so corys and a larger fish like a gourami... Just an idea :D

And for the shrimp, nothing needs a bubbler,so they will be fine
