I feel a bit a naive asking such a common question, but cut me some slack, I am fairly new to this.
I intend on purchasing a 10 gallon tank, for coldwater fish. I have been thoroughly reading through all the basics for 2 weeks now, and think I am ready.
But what I am stuck on is what fish to actually house, I have looked up what fish I could accommodate, but really I can not make up my mind. It gets confusing as to what species goes with whom, without going into expert or scientific facts that throws me off.
The tank is going to be kept in a warm room (slightly warmer than average room temperature). It will be out of sunlight and has a sink less than a meter away.
I do not intend on buying a heater, and obviously I have the restriction to the size of the tank. But the tank has the usual surface area for a 10 gallon tank.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could keep that will not burn to much of a hole in my wallet?
I like bottom Feeders (not necessarily algae eaters), while a small school of fish takes to my liking also. Maybe if anyone has a suggestion for a bottom feeder and small school of fish that get along and share the same habitat?
