10 Gallon setup

The tank does look overstocked. Will you be using live plants? Are you splitting the fish you have between the 10 and the 25 you have in your sig? If so, I would just go with the Platys and the Ottos. Leave the rest in your 25, that way you can build up your schools of Tetras a little more.

Yeah, I will be using live plants. I am splitting between the 10 and 25 and currently, my 25 is horrifically overstocked (temperary, until I pick up the 10 on friday).
These are the fish I have to work with:
4 YoYo's
3 Otos
3 Platies
2 Guppies
5 Neon Tetras
2 Diamond Tetras

When I get the chance, I am gonna trade in 2 of my YoYo's and get Angels for my 25.

This is how both tanks will look:
25 Gallon:
2 YoYos
2 Diamond Tetras
2 Angelfish
3 Otos

10 Gallon:
5 Neons
3 Platies
2 Guppies
2 Otos

I know I might get a bashing for getting Angels for a 25, but I have read on basically every site I visited that they need a 15 minimum and a 25 gallon high is ideal for breeding.
If I see any problems and the tank is overstocked, I will just trade in all my Yo-Yo's and both my guppies.

How about if you left your either your Neons or the Platys in the 25 and left the stock like that?
Also, :OT: I'm looking for Yo Yos Loaches. Where did you get yours? Do yours eat snails? Where can I find more information on them?

I bought mine from Big Al's on sale for 2.99 each! (canadian dollars). The original price was 5.88. The eat snails but mine are usually staing near the top more then the bottom :huh: I guess they are comfertable enough with their setup to hang out near the top. Ofcourse, dont get me wrong, they do stay at the bottom too.
