I have an established 29 gallon community tank. I also have set up a 10 gallon tank but wanted to put something different in it. I wanted to try something a little more agressive than my current community setup. I have asked several fish places but haven't really come up with anything useful. Any advice on something interesting I could put in this tank would be appreciated.

i don't really know of any aggressive fish that are small enough for a ten gallon, unless you have a single betta.
as for intresting i would either go for shell dwellers or a piar of dwarf cichlids

Thanks Shekoi,
I'll investigate the cichlids suggestion. I had considered those but didn't think there were any that would enjoy a 10 gallon.
I also will consider something like you have in your 10 gal, the gourami's. My daughter doesn't like them as much as I do so I was holding off on those.
Thanks again

This is as good as it gets.

I considered those and visited them at the critter store but I read somewhere online that they need alot of space. We really liked those. Would a pair do ok in a 10 gallon??

I think dwarf... D W A R F, are fine in ten gallon. There are many types. Dwarves however are less than 2 inches and fine in 10g. You should research them first, as I'm not all too familiar with them. You can ask chunksofpooo on here, as he keeps them. Look under the puffer thread.

I have Dwarf Gouramis and I think they would do fine in a 10 Gallon. I would suggest getting a pair. I have 4 of em in my 20 gal and they do just fine. One is Neon Blue and one is the normal coloration. The two others are females. If you want a fish that is slightly more aggressive then you should consider a paradise fish. You would want to get only one male as two males will fight. They also tend to be aggressive towards the females so if you get a female you would need places for it to hide in your tank.
