10 Gallon Fish List

I'm gonna drop the pleco, and go with a few panda corycats

and dropping the flounder cause my LFS says they die easily, basically "bad fish"
 
gouramis are very agressive and should not be kept in groups unless you have a VERY large tank where they can get away from each other. they are like bettas. the males will fight with their own species. you can keep females together, but you can't keep males and females unless you have 3-4 females per one male to even out the males agression.

in my 10g i put one red honey gourami (smallest species at 2" max adult size) and 6 glowlight tetras and my tank was fully stocked.
 
i beg to differ...dwarf gouramis can be kept together along with other species. They are aggressive from fish to fish but as a species they are fairly relaxed fish. I wouldnt hesitate to keep 2-3 dwarf gouramis in a 10....I have done it thats why i say and had no problems.

me too, i have 2 male dwarf turquoise gouramis in the same 10 gallon tank and they nipped for the first week but now they have there teritory staked out and havebeen fine for about 1 year. 3 might be pushing it though...
 
Here is my tank. It just needs a heater and a top. I cant set it up cause my mom is re-modeling the house and im gonna switch rooms, but yeah. Im working on the list.

yeah, im a loser. i know. and dont laugh at the lamp. its the only one i have.
 
The flounder tend to die easily as they are brackish or marine fish and keeping them in freshwater kills them off.
 
NOFX is one my favorite bands. my husband, the 34 year old punk rocker, got me hooked on them, among other bands like Social Distortion, Bad Religion, Pennywise, etc.

The two gouramis are going to be too big for a 10 gal when they are full grown, the FW clam...i'm not totally sure about them, but i'm sure they need high light, much like SW clams and lots of substrait to bury into. The FW flounder needs more of a footprint on a tank than a 10 can provide. The pleco is going to grow 18+ inches. The tertas woudl be fine along with the danios. Id say get a nice school of one or the other and then possibly a small school of cories as bottom feeders. If you NEED an algae eater id go with a few otos, but if you dont need them dont get them just as a preventative...unless you like otos. If you dont over feed and dont leave your lights on for a long period of time you shouldnt have much algae anyway. I know that ALOT of people dont like the old rule of 1inch of fish per gallon, but in the terms of tetras and other small fish that stay under about 2inches you should be fine if you follow that rule.

You are way off on the freshwater clams, they are not photosythetic at all. They are filter feeders so you would have to feed them photoplankton and zooplankton all the time or else they would starve.
