Re: what type of fishes for 10 gallon

neons, tetras, swords, platty's, all kinds of wee little ones, maybe up to 30 or more....depends on their size....

If you want to keep bigger cichlids,  like peacocks and angles and others...get a bigger tank.

Guppies are a good little fish to put in a small tank but if you put too many females in the tank with some males, well lets just say your gona need a bigger tank!    I think you can put 25 guppies in a 10 gallon tank.

I am with Honkzz...  Shell dwellers... get some Neolamprologus multifasciatus -- there are plenty of boxers I know that sell them :)
They are easy to take care of, they spawn easy in a 10g tank.  All they want are shells and sand bottom and they are in heaven.

Oh, and maybe a bristlenose pleco.

Silver Arowana are the best ! If your on a budget get a Redtail Catfish.

You should consider the amount of time and $$$ you are willing to invest.
Obviously for a small tank you will want small fish.
A planted tank and dwarf chiclids will require a lot more time and effort than
shellies or other hard water fish which of cource will cost you more $$$ than
the common livebearers and small tetras, barbs & corrys that you find at wallyworld.
But I still enjoy my cheap & easy livebearers

Re: what type of fishes for 10 gallon

If I was to set up a small tank like a 10 gallon tank, I would use aqua soil and go with some low light plants and a few nice looking neons and or rasbora's, a few shrimp and a couple loaches, like yoyo's. Maybe a panda cory or a pair.

But xsnay on the arrowanay.... :)

I had one in a 40 gallon once. He was a hassle and a half.

Betas do nice in a well planted 10 gallon.  Killifish are fun you can even order eggs from ebay or aquabid.com.

I like Mike's idea....but I would throw in a Red Belly Pacu for safe measures as well for cleanup of any food not eaten!!!!

I think the red-tail would cover that department. The Pacu would be more for the "cool" factor, you could tell your friends it's a piranha.
