:) :) :) :) ;D
since, 3 blind cave tetra, 3 tiger barbs. 2 green tiger barbs, 2 sunset platys, and 1 chinese golden AE will be too crowded in a tiny 10 gallon tank... SO! i have got them another tank...
how should i pair them??? and should i get more fish, since i will have 2 10 gallon tanks!
will my fish feel lonely after i separate them??? since they have been in the same tank for 10 months already!  ???
and... will my fish perfer to have more "free open space" to swim? or more "cave" and "water plants" to swim through???  ::)

That's great TLD :D Well, IMO put the 3 blind cave tetras and the 2 suset tetras in the new. Leave everything else behind in the older more established tank. But, first you must cycle the tank i'm guessing you know how to sooooooooo....... get on starting the tank.  :D :D ;D > ;) :) ;) :D ;D 8) ;D :D ;) :) ;) :D ;D 8)

Yes first of all let the tank cycle which you probably know and then I would suggest putting the 3 blind tetras and the sunset platys in the new tank. And leaving the barbs in the old one. For the tetras just have a few caves and then some plasic plants and the same for the others. ;D

well then how to do cycle  :-[ i m not sure how to do it! my 1st tank, i juz add n water that have been sat for 2 days and switch on the filter, put in rocks, plastic plants, caves... then i put in my fish! they didn't die! ( wellz, maybe they r tiger barbs! ) but i dunno about platy! ( don't wanna be a murder!! )
and... i dunno if my tank is too full with plastic plants and caves... o wellz... i actually bought 4 "branch-like-rock". so, the "caves" r in different size everytime i change the water, clean the tank. and i have 3 plastic plants ( regular size for 10 gallon rect. tank ) and some small plastic plants.... wiz white gravel at the bottom
umm... i wonder if thats toooo much
thats y i asked " will they perfer to have more open space to swim, or more caves n plants to swim through
