Can I add...

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

Well my tank just finished cycling. Everything is at 0. So I was wondering if I can add maybe 1 of these 4 options:

Option 1
2 Zebra or Gold Danios

Option 2
3 or 4 White Clouds

Option 3
3 or 4 Neon Tetras

Option 4
3 Peppered Corys

Well if I cant add anything to my 10, do you have any Suggestions for my 1g?

 

[Panther28]

I think I would go with the 1st option.

 

[GeraldTheMouse]

If you were to choose one of those, I would go with the cories. You need something for the bottom.

 

[FroggyFox]

about the only thing I'd add to your 10 would be a couple of ottos or an apple snail. You MIGHT be able to get away with the corys...but I dont know, that'd probably be pushing it.

A 1g really isn't much good for anything. A betta, some adf's, maybe a teeny fish that stays teeny like ember tetras...but even then they're so small that they're really not worth much.

Congrats on the end of your cycle!

 

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

Okay thanx. I actually liked that but wasn't sure if it would be safe since they are all fin nippers.

Ya 1 says cories(wich would be neat to look at) and the other says Danios(wich are fun to look at). I love Oto's nd snails. But on snails wouldn't they eat the plants?

 

[GeraldTheMouse]

Froggy, don't you mean 10g, not 1g?

 

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

No I asked about my 1g too Gerald

*Hits myself on the head*

LOL *laughingc No need to. We all mis read sometimes. I think for my 1g I am going to get a crowntail. For the 10 I think I will go wit the Danios. Thanx guys.

I love the zebra danios - they are a blast to watch. I think a 10 might be a bit small for them, room wise??? Take a look at the rosy tetras. They're bottom dwellers (at least mine are), they school and they're about as animated as danios, though in a different way.

 

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

Well see at my LFS they sale(for $3) 3 or 4 danios. They dont carry Rosy Tetras, they have rosy barbs for like a $ or 2

Some snails eat plants, some don't , just make sure you research the snail before you get it, but I think a snail would be the best choice, they are more interesting than I thought they would be.

 

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

Yeah I had a snail before and had the worst of luck with him

 

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

Apple snails wont eat the plants would they?

 

[confusion]

I have 2 ivory mystery snails, and they're pretty cool to watch. One of them is an absolute monster - it has quadrupled in size since I got him about 6 weeks ago. It doesn't eat the plants, though the little black snail buggers that come on the plants certainly do.

My snails do crazy things like crawl in front of the filter discharge and hang on for as long as they can before being shot across the tank, they crawl over top of my bubble wand and fill their shells up with air and float to the top and sink back to the bottom, and the strangest by far was when I put in any food for my plecos -algae wafers or cucumber slices, the snail (make that one of the snails) eats the entire thing. I definitely think the snails add to my tank. And they don't need a lot of space.

 

[JWright]

2 Danios is nowhere near enough. Danios are shoaling fish that need to be in groups. They will harrass other fish if there isn't enough of them.

you're tank is already full but you could probably add a school of four neon tetras since they're a small bio-load or one or two ottos or two or three cories.
