I am ready for my second set of fish. What would be the ideal type for a 10 gallon tank?
How many and what kind should I get? I have been doing some research but would like some answers from some people with some experience with the type of fish they are recommending to give me some pointers.
There is nothing in the tank at the time but some gravel. I have one decoration but looking for more advice before buying anything else.
Pirahna reccommended exodon paradoxus (he didn't spell it correctly, though). That is not a good idea. If you did, in fact get 10 of them, they would whittle down their own numbers in short order. They are a very vicious little fish that is not compatible with anything.
You don't say what, if any, filtration you have (you need filtration) or if the tank is heated. Tropical fish need 72-78 degree water, goldfish need 60-65 degree water. Don't mix them.
One inch of small slim fish per gallon of water (don't count the tails). The fatter the fish, the more water it needs.
Tiger barbs are not good community fish, they are fin nippers. Cherry barbs are good, guppies are good, rosy barbs are good, white clouds are good. All of those can be mixed. Neons are good, but very touchy in the area of water conditions and temperature. They will get ich at the drop of a couple degrees.
Angels will eat what fits in their mouths, they don't mix well with small fish. They love to hunt baby fish (fry).
Go to the site "About.com" and follow their links to setting up and maintaining a freshwater aquarium. They have lots of info there, including what fish get along with each other and how many will fit into different sized tanks.
