Yup, I previously had two Angles in there but I wanted more of a community aquarium.

The tank is a 10 gal planted with a caved rock. So I took the angles back(ive been wanting to do this for a while but couldnt find a place who cared about there stock) so the fish guy took them in and gave me 7 bux store credit of wich I purchased 3 neon tetras and 3 zebras. They seem pretty happy...I like the change. Anyone recomend any other fish? Oh, I also have a pleco in there. I dont want to over stock but it seems like a couple other fish could thrive in there.

Any suggestions? and pics? I dont really know a lot of fish species...
 
My cousin has a 10 gallon that she used to have some neons and zebras in and the zebras were total bullies to the neons and the neons were very timid. But when the power went out a few weeks back all of them died. What kind of pleco is it? If it is a common then you might want to take it back or after it reaches like 4 inches or more tot ake it back.
 
A 10 gallon tank is very limiting in terms of stocking. IMHO, 3 zebras and 3 neons in itself is about right for a 10gallon tank (depending on filtration). The pleco (no matter what species) would probably get too large for a 10 gallon tank... even if its in there on its own.
See if you can return that pleco, or get it a much larger tank (depending on species).
Understocking is almost always better as oppose to overstocking. It reduces maintenance on your tank, since the fish load is lighter (less fish waste, less feeding, etc).
