Possible Fish To Put In My 10 gallon tank

I feel better now, Thank Cowgirly....5 is perfect for the 5 frogs, few plants, and tiny caves (your pots on their sides).
10g would be sweet with 3 corydoras' and some smaller fish as you said (neons/guppies/endlers). You may want to keep an eye on the variatus..they can be chasey at times...specially if it's a male.

 

that sound like a set I'm doing, move a tetra that is mean as hell to a one gallon tank by him self (beside the snails in there.) and add guppies to my 20 gallon.

 

OK one try not to put pure endlers with guppies, they can mate with one another making you endler babies hybrids which could have some side effect to the offspring. endler if there like guppies should have a male to female ratio.

the Ratio should be 1 male to 2 or more females.

Neon and other tetra should really be in schools of 4 or 5 min. so for a 10 gallon I would just go with one breed of fish.

or if you could do a male mix of guppies and endlers.

 

Cory's need to be in groups (their social)...I'd say 3 for your size tank (10g) is a good number for AFTER you get the froggers out. ANthony is the endler expert (but their basically a guppy) and you should be able to mix them with guppies if you want them to intermix. Personally I'd go for just male guppies (females will provide too many babies for your tank to handle), being that they are the ones who truly have all the color. Neons/guppies/endlers/corydoras should all get along.

 

I would make sure it a all male tank. I read some where that it was common for there to be more males then female on the market when they are a new breed or strain, that way the first breeders and make good money off the strain or breed.

I also read that most breeder hold a good number of the females back in order to have a higher offspring possible.

 

schools work best with a minimum of 4 or 5 fish. however I think you might be able to get a way with 3.

 

In the 10g you could do 3 corydoras, 4 male guppies/endlers, and say about 4-5 neons.
Although I think it would be prettier to do 3 corydoras of your liking and a school of neon tetras (say about 10 )....and then of course the plants like you wanted to try down the line. Neons are really pretty when schooled.

 

Good Good. She'll be great with 3 on the corydoras (I've grouped in 3 before in a 10 gallon and all did fine...happily grazing among the substrate for yummy nooks and crannies that were missed by the fish above).
Just make sure your dealing with MALES on those guppies and endlers (unless you want to deal with tons of babies that you won't have room for--also leading to fluctuation within your water parameters as a result of the extra fish/birth).
Get a feel for how the tank will look at that point and give them some time to stabalize...then as you said you can always go and get some tetras if you feel it looks too empty. I know it's hard to not be tempted to add alot to a 10gallon, but if you don't want to deal with constantly replacing your fish and finding this one or that one dead...I'd stay lowly stocked.

 

It will help keep your nitrate down because that one of the things it use to grow, and it also add oxygen to the tank, other then it make your fish feel more at home and safe I'm not sure of other befits.

 

The only thing I would really use a 10 gallon for is to raise my fry.
