10 Gallon Freshwater Tank
- 5 Neon Tetras
- 3 Harlequin Rasboras
- 1 Male Guppy
- 1 Spotted Plecostomus (2" long or so)
- 2 small plants
Most of those fish do better in larger schools, at least six fish per school, however your tank is too small to add all those fish. Also, is a spotted pleco the same as a common pleco? I've never had them and don't know much about them, but I do know they get huge. Even if it is 2" long now, it will quickly outgrow that tank. Any possibility of either a larger tank or rehoming the pleco? Even before it gets large, it will contribute mightily to the poo in the tank. I would step up the water changes a bit if I were you.
I have a 23 gal tank that is a bit overstocked but I'm running two filters on it. It has 7 harlequins, three redwag platys, four african dwarf frogs but alas only one male guppy. I had three older guppies and then added three new ones. The older guppies died one by one (I believe it was old age) and the new ones, I believe weren't the best quality guppies, so now I'm only left with one. He sorta does school with the harlequins though. Aren't the harls the most beautiful fish? I call it my "orange" tank because with the exception of the frogs (obviously, LOL), all of the fish are orangish.
