10 gallon stocking :)

I think Endlers and shrimp are an excellent idea! (Of course...). The numbers, might want to do 6 endlers and 8 shrimp. They will eat fry, but if you provide grass or plants and other hiding spots some fry should make it to adult hood. This is what I'm trying for too! There are also some other really awesome "micro" fish like endlers to look into such as chili rasboras. But endlers are a good choice, tight fish huh?! Amano shrimp are among my favorite because they are avid algae eaters if any shows in the tank and are really cool looking and always seemed to do well in my tank. Also red cherry shrimp, tiger shrimp, bamboo shrimp, and bee shrimp tend to add lots of color and movement to the tank are seem to fairly readily available at my lfs on and off...
Hope this was helpful, I can't wait to see what you do with it!

i wouldnt do bamboo shrimp in a 10 gallon unless you plan on feeding it liquid fry food every day.

Forgot that they were filter feeders, oops But yea those red cherrys are awesome! Hehe

I agree bamboo shrimp are a little to active for a 10 IME. I would go with several pea (dwarf) puffers as mentioned before. I had about 12 in a 10 gallon for a really long time. Just be sure to add them all at once or there will be problems, just dont expect to have any other tankmates....learned that the hard way..

i think your gonna need a 20 gallon long to grow out cichlid fry.

I suppose that is the very same fry you claimed to have killed off because they were hybrid

 

[allaboutfish]

also what will you do with the fry? it wouldnt be smart to sell them unless you made sure they werent going to breed them.
