Okay My 10g tank is ready for fish.......

I was thinking

2-3 pairs of livebearers(not sure which ones yet)
1 african bushfish(ugh i forget the name)
2-3 rope fish will this work???(Will be moved to a bigger tank evetually...)

Thank you
 
Option #1 is okay but the last two are not.
 
DEFINITELY NOT. You want to keep way too many fish in a tank that is way too small. A ten gallon is too small for a single ropefish, let alone multiple ones. When choosing livebearers, platys and guppies will work- some mollies will not. Adult sailfin mollies grow to just under 6 inches in length.
 
no way man... all those will outgrow your tank besides option one..... you needa do some research on max grow size of your fish.. and the PH, and temp each fish needs to be kept in... and also the temperment of each fish!... in a 10 gal.... you really can keep more then 2-4 ( small) fish
