Ok so I already have a 55 corner tank which I've experimented a bit with by adding some angelfish to my already established community... So far so good.
I picked up a 10 gallon from my buddy and want to do something different with it, I had a post about a male and 3 female betta tank but it seems like a big risk and I'm not in the business of hurting fish... So what do you guys recommend? All thats in it now is one bubble wall sand substrate and a single plant my angel up rooted from my 55. Really looking to go unique, love live plants so I'm defiantly going that route but I have no idea of what fish to add or a layout. Any suggestions?
Like I said I really want to do something different from my 55.....
10 Gallon Specs:
10-15 Gallon generic filter with activated carbon with ammonia reducer
Heater
Sand substrate
5 gallons of water from my established 55 and 5 gallons fresh water
half dose prime, half dose stresscoat, and quarter dose primafix and melafix
bubble wall
2 13 watt TCP Compact cfl Florescent bulbs
All suggestions welcome!
Thanks,
Bob

For suitable betta tank mates in a 10, I've seen people have a school of panda cories (6) or a group of kuhli loaches (4-6) in a ten before, although they are more suitable to 15-20 gallons. (cant tell from my phone, but if you go this route, make sure you have a rock cave or driftwood cave they can hide under) A couple (at least 2, they like friends) of african dwarf frogs are also popular 10 gallon choices, although I had to seperate my betta from the frogs because even with feeding them frozen bloodworms with tweezers, he would snatch the worms away. Didnt matter if I fed him prior to the frogs. Ghost shrimp are fun to watch (they take each others food) have some risk of being ate by a betta, but mine ignored my larger ones. As I'm sure you already know, your betta may or may not tolerate room mates, so its best to have a back up plan.
