So I have a 10 gallon tank setup and it's been up for like a month and I need to decide what to put in it! I was thinking of just getting a male betta in it and be done with it. (I would be forcing myself not to spend more money on fish. xD) I saw a male at Petmart I really liked, but I wasn't sure how "good" their fish are there. Or I could get some female bettas. Guppies are a definite no. They don't live in my water. Any ideas? xD

Heh. I love Fan-tailed goldfish. (: Mine always amuse me, and if I had a tank that big, I'd put such bubbly, happy (always moving around) fan-tailed goldies in it. (: Not sure how much you like golds, though ;]

I personally love zebra danios and White Cloud Mountain minnows. Hardiest fish around. They live even when all my other fish die. And I personally suggest not just getting one male, as once you get bored with him, thats it :P You could try a female betta sorority, as long as you get over four. Anyways, personal suggestion : 4 White clouds 3 Zebra Danios A few Tetras, and an Ottocinclus, (otto(sp?)) And as for aquarium plants, if you want the more natural look (aka no plastic or rubber plants) I suggest Elodea and Java fern. Again, hardiest plants around. I seem to kill anything in water, except my female bettas, which NEVER seem to die. And of course White clouds and Danios

Anyways, good luck with the tank. Hope all goes well .

I like betta fish. They are so pretty. I have a purple male.

I do have one zebra danio in there. I got 6 (they were actually "feeders") and all but one died. I might go back to the store and get more though. The ones I got were the last ones because the store was getting ready to move. So I think they were already stressed. But otherwise I agree, they live amazingly well. xD I've thought about some goldfish. I've never really kept them before and I thought that would be something different. I might look into that. I really think I might do that. xD Ahhh I don't know what to do for sure though. xD ...Actually I lied, I'm getting one of those Catfish in the picture above. XDDD;

I wouldn't suggest these if the tank in 10gallon they should be in a 30gal at the minimum b/c they're so big....I've been researchin b/c i want one XD

well

As much as goldfish and danios would be pretty together, goldfish are coldwater fish and danios are a tropical/warmwater species. I'm not sure how long one would last with the other, I have never tried. But perhaps you could put a white cloud in with a goldfish. White clouds can stand pretty cold temps. Keep the temp. at around 70, and I am sure they would both be fine. Or test it with a couple and see how it goes. But really anything over a certain temp and the goldies drop like flies. Perhaps you could find a neutral temperature where danios and goldfish would live together. It would take some testing though.

Well I have 2 guppies and a betta in my 5, (well, I did, until one of the guppies dissapeared, like there one day, gone next, POOF!) So you could do a betta and maybe some cardinal tetras or zebras? I also like bleeding heart tetras.

Boz · May 2009

Well I decided that I think I'm going to take the tank down. I really shouldn't be spending money on fish. >.<' I don't know yet though. x3

I'm just going to throw this out there for anyone but, goldfish are pretty tough on the bio load. They produce so much waste a single goldfish should have at least 5 gallons to itself. As a general rule though, in tropical aquariums, 1 gallon of water should be given per one inch of fish. Example: A typical male betta is 2.5 inches long. They would need 2.5 gallons or more of water.

Hmmm... if you are betta crazy like I am, breed the bettas, its a long process but if you have the patience its very rewarding.
