Fish Combinations...

[megalodon82]

I was wondering if this would be a good fish combination with a 10g tank.

1 (possibly 2) Mollies
1 Swordtail
1 Guppy
(maybe lemon cichlid)

I was thinking about keeping the tank somewhere between 75 and 80 degrees. Any suggestions are welcomed so let me know what you guys think. thanks

If you want live barers in a 10 gal I would suggest Endlers.They`re tiny and live in a community where the fry don`t get eaten by the others.The males ar so handsome.Mollies and guppies will over populate a 10 gal in no time and they eat their fry.Also they`re really too big to thrive pROPERLY in a 10 gal.People think guppies are small fish but i have had them get pretty big.
I`s go with 2f/1m endlers and a few maybe 3 otos for algae control.This is my opinion for what it`s worth.If you live in Pa i`d give ya some Endlers

Agreed - mollies and swordtails get too large for a 10g IMO.

If you like tetras, a group of neons, glowlights, rummy-nosed or similar tetras would be nice, maybe 5 or 6 along with a betta or dwarf gourami.

Otos and dwarf corys will also work nicely.

right now my tank is full of livebears(mollies, fancy guppies, swordtails) i love it, but you should look into a bigger tank. i agree with the others.

Will a Betta be okay with a few Bloodfin Tetras?

 

[Blinky]

Sounds fine to me. It's best to keep tetras in groups, so I'd get five or six.

I could fit five or six of them in a 10g?
