Single fish for a 10 gallon tank aquarium

[Benthebassmaster]

I have a 10 gallon standard tank and I want a single fish or single fish with schooling fish. Apart from a betta because I already know about them.

Single male Apistogramma or dwarf pike

 

[FreshyFresh]

Dwarf gourami and a school of celestial pearl danios.

A single sword tail or platy and the CPDs

Scarlet badis

A group of sparkling gourami

Shell dwellers maybe? Although I'd think a 20 long tank would be better.

 

[Deadeye]

Dwarf puffer (maybe dwarf red eye but 15 is better)
Badis
Dwarf frogs
Dwarf crayfish

There’s some pretty cool brackish and marine options too if your curious.

While i know you said you already know about bettas, have you looked into the less common types such as Betta Channoides or Betta Albimarginata which can be quite interesting imo...

Otherwise a school of Celestial Pearl Danios as mentioned above in a simple planted tank would be quite nice to to look at too...

Single male Apistogramma or dwarf pike

I didn’t know a dwarf pike could be in a 10 gallon tank. If it could though that would be awesome

 

[Deadeye]

Solo would be fine. They are small and not too active.

Omg I always thought they needed a 30. Now that I know that’s what I’m thinking about.

 

[Benthebassmaster]

Could there be tank mates with a dwarf pike in a 10 gallon just because it would be nice to have some activity in the tank

 

[The Masked Shadow]

No! If there are tank mates. Then the pike will be Argo and murderer all of them!
