My old 10 gallon tank was used for my sisters hamster if you will recall thyra as the cage she was in was to easy to escape. No tank has "Broke" yet in my care, the 20 gallon that begun cracking is sitting in the building being use as a greenhouse type thing. I do not want to order fish offline thyra because a my mother would have to order them since im not 18 and b its to risky for me since my Post office is small and in our area there's been talk about shutting them down. So i figured id go for an easy community tank.
Now onto the current debates, Even if i did choose Corydora's Pygy varity Flame, 6 is still to many imo for a 10 gallon tank. Have you seen the adult size of a Peppered Corydora? I have, my mother kept some in a 10 gallon before, they got 3 1/2 inchs long. 6 of those in a 10 gallon tank would be crazy. Onto my next question, if my Platy idea wont work, what other "group fish" can be kept in a 10 gallon tank with either a Dwarf Gourami or a Crowntail Betta (One of those will be my centerpiece) When i thaught up this plan, only a livebearer fit that, perhaps i overlooked something, i was getting a betta also in hopes that he would control the fry if there were any. In my old tanks, i never had any Fry live besides 1 or 2 which replaced there mothers/fathers. But i do see the issue if the parents arent killers and the betta cant find the fry, it'l be overstocked after one good batch of fry ive. So with that being said, im going to do some research on Aqadvisor, Google and my brain and come up with some other options.
