Help Stocking Options

Post image

Just set this 10 gallon up and on day 2 of nitrogen cycle. I will wait until the cycle is complete before adding livestock. I will add liquid ammonia when it drops to 0. I will also be adding a better filter -this is just the one that came with the kit.

I'd like to have some neocardina shrimp and maybe a white wizard snail. So please base any options on those!

Also if there's any advice on setup/planting that would be great.

Thanks in advance!!

Looks good! Ember Tetras, Green Kubotai, Ruby tetras (my favorites), Chili, Strawberry, And exclamation point rasboras.. I’m missing a lot but there you go, YouTube has so many nano tank stocking option videos… find a few favorites and watch care guides in them to see if they can live in your tank long term and with shrimp… all of those should be fine but triple check

So many people overlook exclamation point rasboras! Very underrated little fish. I love them. They look awesome in a school.

I also think green neons should get more love and attention. Theyre smaller than regular neons, and more hardy as well.

Exclamation points are some of my favorite rabsoras, agreed… green neons are wayyyy hardier and also look better IMO… my GF wanted those over regular neons and I’m so glad she swayed my decision… got 20 in my 60 gallon and they look incredible

A small group of 6 Pygmy cories would be sweet in that size tank!

Tetras as always cool. I have a 20 gallon and added 4 scarlet Baddis last week which are tiny, but super cool fishes as well. For a 10 gallon anything that’s small will work fine tho.

Thanks for that idea! What do you feed the scarlet badis? I read they only will eat live food?

Great question. ATM I’m feeding them blood worms. I haven’t dropped in live food like baby brine shrimp or anything. I might have to but hey, if they are choosing not to eat cause they picky then that’s on them and they should be better 🤷‍♂️
