Of the many tanks that I have, my ten gallon is heavily planted with some driftwood. The fish that live in this wonderful tank are five brilliant rasboras, a betta, and a BN pleco. All are happy and get along.
5 golden barbs
6 danios
3 yo yo loaches
3 plecos (one pleco is 6 inches long)
6 corys
All that nonsense of 10 gallons having a limit in stocking capability. If you do it right then you can keep a lot of fish in a 10 gallon. Actually the oldest one have already survived more than 5 years in that same 10 gallon thank.
Just make sure that you pay a lot of attention to good filtration and stress reducing elements.
Ok here's mine...my 36 gallon just has a few because it is still cycling I intend to add more fish just not sure which type still deciding can't do a thing till it is fully cycled.
