Stocking a 10 gallon

[Slacker]

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a 10 gallon that im beginning my hobby again with. I put a big sword and a leafy plant (i dont know the names because I had my girlfriend pick them). Its lit well and has a whisper powerhead filter. I cant seem to get the levels right but...moving on.

Anyway, I am trying to think of what I want in it. I want to make it have a natural look, lots of plants and fish swimming among them. I want livebearers (at least one pair), and i want to be able to have some of my fish breed too, even the egglayers.

Anyway, suggestions wanted. Ive had two guppies die when i just started the tank so its restarted. Right now I have a single Sarpae Tetra and a Zebra Danio Tetra in it.

thanks!

Trade the Sarpae Tetra and the Zebra Danio for some platys

I need to keep this one because my girlfriends little sister picked it out. As much a bumer as that is.

You need to keep what one? The sapea or the danio? I wouldnt recomend a Sapae for a 10gal. They are fin nippers and will attack other fish till their dead.

Anyone that says they dont doesnt know much ill be glade to show anyone pics of my neons and lemmon with no fins after i watched my sapae attack them.

I read your post on that. I cant take back the sarpae, but it snot attacking my Danio yet, and seems very docile.

put a variety of gouramies and a (1) betta. You'll have a naturally aggressive looking environment.These fishes are hardy too.
