10 gal oh the possibilities

**austinpetemo** · 07-23-2008, 5:17 PM

lol i was thinking how there are so many fish that cant go in a ten gallon tank for very long before they outgrow it. just how many combinations and breeds and setups can you possibly think of for a 10 gal tank?

not as much as a larger tank

Probably a hundred or more. lol

Larger tanks offer even more possibilities though.

Check out Schizo's "list of fish that fit in a 10gal." There are plenty of choices, really...

it really depends on what is available to you.

you probably won't want to get any fish that get bigger than 3 inches long.

as calivivarium said, I have a list. It has grown rather large, and there is more research to do, which I will be updating the thread with. It's been a little while since my last update. But I keep finding more fish!

This does not include the invert only tank possibilities.

Check out my 7 yr old daughter's Best looking tank in the world thread for the best example.

I'm j/k. Kinda

My daughter has some zebra danios 2 platys and a male and female betta in hers. Has worked out very well. I have read on here that you are not suppose to put male and female bettas together, but we have had no problems.

Hey Alan R, I am going to be ordering some of your granite pieces soon. Heard good things. =)

On topic, for a 10g I personally like a small school of cardinal tetra and maybe a few shrimp and snails. Just looks better then a single larger fish.
