Well, If you don't have a heater for it or even if you do, White cloud minnows are a very atttractive choice for a small tank. They are also going extinct in the wild due to deforestisation(sp?) and city development so it is important for us to continue their speices even if it is in captiveity. I try to squeze them in to any free space in my tanks, they don't take up much room, don't bother anyone and are qute!

U could try puffers, i know South Americna puffers don't get very big and they are not as aggresive as dwarfs

blue ram cichlids

What about some hatchets and soem cardinals and cories, fish for all levels

hospital tank

If it was $10, then it wasnt free.

Why not try Badis badis they don't need a heater either.

rofl i never use a heater with any fish except my cichlids.

Rasboras, rainbowshark, and my corys dont use a heater. My house stays about 70-72+F though lol.

A dwarf puffer could be a cool ten gallon occupant. If you are willing to try brackish you could go with a bumblebee goby setup. But amazon makes a good point in favor of WCMMs, I love those little guys. (Three share a 3 gallon with a male betta.)

ugh lol well sorry basicly free 10$ is not that much i did not mean it like that how much do South Americna puffers cost and what about White cloud minnows how much do those cost also those seem like a better choice guppies are cool and all but i would end up feeding them to my oscars if i could not get a ride to my LFS that week (even though i dont have to)

 

[caveman]

Both are cheap. I got my minnows for like .80$

I am not positive but I think my lfs has the puffer (very small) for a few bucks.

I found a 10 gallon sitting outside a dumpster once, And as tempted as i was i walked away.

Personally i would go with dwarf puffers.

 

[catfishmike]

not to be a jerk but a 10 gal.sells brand new for 10 dollars or less at almost any place that sells fish goods.go for the minnows they are on of the most overlooked and tough fish in the hobby.and you can feed them to your oscars eventualy because they are one of the few egg laying fish that will reproduce without your help

 

[beaver8888]

i know they sell the tank for about 10$ but the stand is usally about 20$ well at leats where i live buit prices suck at my LFS on supplys not fish now the puffers are fresh water?

 

[sinasster]

yes dwarf puffers are fresh water, about an inch long.

They are cool cause they are a little different than your average fish. And different is hard to do in a 10 gallon

 

[beaver8888]

ya it is hard to do and r they agersive or midly aggersive cause im really intersted in these now i would like to get about 3+ for a tank and would they go with plants or would they screw up my planns on plants?
