hi, im just sitting here trying to think of what kind of fish i would like to keep in my new, well old 10 gallon i had laying around. I have all equipment needed starting with the filter which is a whisper internal filter rated at 150 gph and a 50w theo hydro heater i think thats the right way its spelled but anyways im using crushed coral an caribsea sand as my substrate and for the lighting im using a 18w corallife light. Im not looking to keep any cichlids in this tank i have a 55g with cichlids also so im good but i would like to know of some fish that have a desent life and active and also stay a small size seeing that i would like to keep maybe 5 fish in this tank, oh ya decor right now is 2 mid size rocks about the size of a soft ball but with nice natural coloring, I would also like the fish in this tank to have color doesnt have to be fancy i was thinking a small group of neon tetras but they are 4 dollars for one and im not looking to pay that much i have also considered dwarf fish but my local stores dont have a large selection on dwarf fish, maybe a par a dwarf gouramies is that spelled right but these are a few details on what i am looking for any pics would help or just a name so i can do the seerch but i would like to make this a more natural looking tank, i would also like to add maybe a small peice of drift wood and maybe 3 mid size plants later after fish are added.
 
I always thought watching kissing groumi's was fun. I recently just bought a moss ball, and it adds a little green without much work. I've only had it about 3 weeks and I can tell it has already grown! Another fun tankmate might be a loach.
 
i have a ten with a betta and a dat i will soon move my dat to the thirty then to the sixty
