Hello everyone!

I am thinking of getting a heated Ten Gallon tank and stock it with 4-5 African Dwarf Frogs, 10-15 neon Tetras, 1 male betta, and 1 Bristlenose pleco. Will this be okay? Also, please suggest any changes to the list and also tell me which fish can live with each other and which can stay.
The Betta has to be in the list because we already have him, except he is in a bit of a pickle. (jar) If not, then I will get him a 5 gallon tank.
Any comments are appreciated.:)
 
That's too much stock for a 10. You'll probably get more detail from others but I'd say 2-3 ADF and 6-8 neons. I think the plec will get too big too. Can't comment on the betta compatibility.
 
woooooooa thats way to much. do you pl;an on letting any of them move at all LOL! sorry, way to much and a bristlenose even though only grows 5 inches needs at least a 15 to 20 gallon tank. think small, very small tank mates and small very small numbers!

Sorry, I've never kept tetras before. So I should give the cleaning duties to the cherry shrimp and get only 6 neons and 3 frogs. What about the betta?

EDIT: How many shrimp can I have in there?

i dont know about the betta i would be very careful they are know to bite out the eyes of other fish...might work but keep a close eye
 
^ Good, because I know that the betta will also be fine with the ADF because I kept them together for 2 years. (Until that hot day on that parking lot)

And the shrimp should be fine too because the betta's a top layer fish while the cherry shrimp are bottom feeders.
