Right now there is 50 really small danio's
2 1.5 inch (what my LFS called) purple danios
rose danio? Danio Roseus
2 6 inch gold dojo loaches
a weird spectled thing related to a killi (might be a killi of some sort)
that I would need a better picture of
and a red lyle tail(sp) (red eye)...
(High Fin) Lyretail Swordtail, Xiphophorus helleri

There was much more in there at the start-But a heater I had in there decided to boil the tank that night----So I lost about $125 bucks worth of fish for this tank-
I was going for an extremely active 10 gal.....

Sorry for the loss but anyhow, nice tank. I was going to suggest 2 smaller heaters, so the effects won't be as drastic as quick, but with ten gallons (not even bc of the driftwood), it doesn't take much to heat it reaguardless. Also, I am envious of that driftwood. I'm starting to look more into aquascaping myself over just fish keeping recently.

Thanks for the ID's man-
I dont have abetter pic of the speckled thing right now-Hard to geta shot of it....

I have alot of driftwood I will be redoing my tanks with.....I have been trying to concentrate more on that part myself......I would love a planted tank-And have all the equipment to due a very nice setup-But dont have the patients to take care of one.....Maybe in due time we will see me take on one of them also though.....who knows-I just know I have to start keeping some different fish and start getting into the scapeing side of things-I'm starting to get bored with what I got right now.....
 
I agree, and anyone who tells you they don't get bored with what they have at some point is lying. That's why I went salt recently and my interest peaked more in corals than actual fish (esp. seeing how I can only run a smaller setup at college), but I still have a ton of research to do in that department, it's like starting all over again haha but I am looking forward to it. I'm actually thinking about downsizing my tanks at home as well and concentrating more on planted and such, so by having less it would actually get me more into the hobby. Anyhow, good luck to you and I hope you decide to go with a planted tank, sure it may take dedication, but I think you will find it will pay off in the end, maybe just start off slow and keep building onto it as time goes on.

Nice tank AK, you should add a 55 gallon sump just cuz you can. I've always wanted to do that myself, giant sump on a tiny tank and stock it heavily, but if its working for you then keep doing what you're doing.
