Not that I don't like Livebearers, but I only have a 10G tank and the male swordtail died after a year and a half in March, and the female died after 2 years last week. I don't know what she had, but she got this huge white sore thing that bulged out on her side and her scales were sticking out like dropsy so I made the decision to euthanize here. It didn't seem like it effected the rest of the tank at all. All the other fish are fine.
So...right now I have 4 red-eyed tetras in my 10G. I was thinking of going to the fish store and replacing my two swordtails. I'm notoriously fearful of overstocking my tank.
So do you guys think I could get one more red-eyed tetra and say, one of those small dwarf gouramis (the blue ones?) Or should I just get one more tetra? Or do you think I should get two more tetras and keep it a single species tank to make the tetras happy? What do you think I could get away with?
