Help Me Plan My DREAM 10 Gallon!

If you want a legit get one school or the other...not both. It shouldn't be done for a ten especially if your new but people do and do it well. If you want pygmys search for dwarfs...you could probably get those and neons but the rest is somewhat pushing it.

Still I'd say go with otos instead of corrys.
 
How many otos should I get? And how many neons should I get?
 
I'd say 3 otos and 4-8 neons.

Or 3 otos, 4-5 neon, and a betta.

Could have a problem with the betta and neons.

6-8 neons and 3 otos and you should be rocking and rolling.

Plus you could add a bunch of inverts and make it pretty sick.

BUT I'd rather get cardinals than neons...much nicer
 
I was just gonna ask how many cardinals could I get?

Assuming I was getting the same number of ottos.

that sounds like a lot for a ten g to me. i tend to understock, i know but it helps keep things balanced and a bit more low maintenance.

I have several tetra species (neon, glo light, blue) in my 30 with a betta and every thing is cool. Also I researched quite a bit about betta tank mates and neons were one of the most common suggestions.

All that aside, Jspigs these are just suggestions. You may or may not have the same experience that I do, or someone else does, even when getting the same species/count.

Good luck with your tank though. Post some pics when you can.
