  1. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi everyone! I am fairly new to both this forum and to tropical fish keeping in general. There’s a lot of information to learn! I’m about to graduate college, and I’ve had a female betta in a 3 gallon tank in my dorm. I now know that that is too small so I bought her a 10 gallon for my new...
  2. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    This is my first ever tank as I'm new to this hobby, but I've done loads and loads of thorough research to prepare myself. The only info I haven't been able to find is how exactly I could stock my tank, as there are so many different variables that go into decisions like this. I have a 10 gallon...

    Hello, So I have a 10 gallon tank, and I used to have 1 male betta, and 6 Otos. my betta died earlier this year, and I want to make my tank a community tank now. I have some fish in mind, but to not make it a crowded tank, I don't know how many I can put in my tank. I know that the rule of...

    Hi, all! I just started my first tank a few months back. It is a 10 gallon freshwater tank and currently has an Emerald Cory Cat, a shrimp, three plants, a medium piece of aquatic wood, three small moss balls, and two little houses! I would like to get more cory cats as I have learned on here...

    Hey all, It's been quite awhile, but I'm on spring break so I've got awhile to give my tanks a boost My planted 10g has been running for a few years now, and I need to restock since I no longer have any top level fish. All that's in it right now is a snail, an oto, a black kuhli, and two amano...
  6. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Im moving my male veil tail betta from a 2.5 gallon unfiltered tank to a 10 gallon cycled tank. I am new to the fish keeping hobby so I wanted to know how to acclimate him to the 10 gallon. It is a heated tank and the 2.5 doesn't have a heater, so there is quite a temperature difference. Another...
  7. Beginner Planted Aquarium
    What would be the right size plant for a 10 gal. tank? Right now I'm looking into buying one or two that will fit easily and won't be too much trouble.

    Hello all! The last time I kept fish (20 gal. rect. tank) for my family was several years ago when I was maybe 10-14 years old. It is a wonder how any of my fish survived back then considering how much bad/incorrect information we had. I read a lot on this site and other sites. I figured I...
  9. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Hey guys, I am trying to decide on some new fish for the 10g. After a year of my dwarf puffer and balloon Molly living together happily, the puffer died. I don't know why, he just suddenly stopped eying good and got super emaciated. I think he may have had some sort of internal damage from...

  11. Vivariums and Reptiles
    Sometime in the distant future, I would love to tun my 10g into a vivarium, half water half land with live plants and such. My idea was to look something like this picture...but not near as nice and smaller lol, and the land would slope into the water, not be a sharp drop off. I would also like...
  12. Catfish
    Hi! So I have officially decided to keep some type of dwarf cories in my 10 gallon tank. I am deciding between the c. habrosus, hastatus, and pymaeous. I like the look of the habrosus the most, but I heard that the pygmaeous is hardier. I am new, so I definitely am not ready for fragile little...

  15. Tropical Fish Diseases
    A friend of mine purchased a pleco over the summer, but had to leave it at her parents' house when she returned to college. They had the ten gallon from late august until this past weekend (a little more than a month), and when my friend got to see the tank again, it was in horrific condition...

    Hi I have a 10 gallon aquarium setup for about 2 months now. A month ago I added 6 Cardinal Tetras with my 3 cory cats. I acclimated the Cardinals for 2 hours by slowly adding water to the bag. After adding them I only lost one but for the month I've had them all they do is hide in the back of...
  18. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    I'm a beginner and have only had simple little goldfish and betta tanks that never really worked out. I'm interested in getting a 10 gallon community tank. I've looked at a few different kinds of fish and have been interested in getting: 1 sparkling gourami, 3-4 white cloud minnows, 2...

    Hi! Thanks in advance for your help. I'm cycling a 10 gal., Aquaclear 30 filter with 2 sponges, set on low (still puts out good water flow) and today is day 16. Alas, I don't have ammonia or nitrite test kits. Nitrates are steady over the past 2 or 3 days at 10ppm ?? I have put in a very...

    Hello everyone! Glad to be here on this site among all of you. I'm writing from Massachusetts. I'm back in the hobby again - been cycling a 10 gal. for 12 days or so. I'm hoping for a nice mini planted tank that's in good balance. I read the series on planted tanks, chemistry, etc., with...
