i already have:
1 female platy (adult)
1 male platy (adult)
1 small juvenile platy
1 female guppy (adult)
2 ghost shrimp (not fully grown yet)
im thinking about adding 1-2 more guppies (1 male and 1 female) so that my guppy wont feel lonely or maybe a group of tetras (3-5) i might get neons, black neons, or glow light or cardinals but most likely not glow lights. and dont tell me i can because its too small and dont tell me i need a 15g tank or bigger because i know they can be in my tank. or how about 3-5 white clouds? or what are some of your opinions?
oh and the tank is 10 gallons with everything need and i did cycle it ok.
You could get 1 or 2 more Guppies but you will be FULLY STOCKED. A 10 gallon can hold 3 platies and 3 guppies comfortably. You could get White Clouds cause they can be in a 10 gallon and 3 is a OK group for them but guppies should not be alone. You really need to add guppies over taking on a new group fish. Neon Tetra's, Black Neon Tetra's, and Cardinals needs 20 gallons for 6, and the Glowlights need 6 in 15 gallons.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com Tetra's are fast, dart swimmers and can not properly swim in 10 gallons. If in cramped conditions they bully and pick on each other. Glowlights have even successfully breed in a 5 gallon, however cats can also breed in a closet. It doesn't make it a good situation.
If you wanted a Tetra species bad enough, you could get 5 Glowlight Tetra's and get rid of ALL your fish now ... That's really the only way.
2 more female Guppies
OR
3 White Clouds
OR
1 female guppy, 1 female/male Betta.
Sorry it is not what you wanted to hear, but adding 5-6 Neon's with your stock would be bad. They would bully and pick on each other and the guppy and platies. When stressed they live shorter lives and can become fin nippers. A 15 gallon isn't even big enough for 6 Neon's. They need plants on the sids and along the back if possible and need a BIG swimming area in the middle and front of the aquarium. A 10 gallon can't offer the right amount of room.
2 more guppies might overstock your tank, but 1 would be ok. You definitely don't have enough room for a school of tetras or white clouds. I would add another female guppy, but remember that your platys could reproduce . You could also add some more ghost shrimp. A different color platy. If you want something completely different, you could add a female betta.
If you wanted to add anything else, I would stick with another guppy or two. Since you already have a female, I would advise against getting any males, or the guppies will mate, and before you know it your tank will full of babies.
you should do a group of tetras because then you can have all kinds of different fish and + I like tetras and you should get the black neon's I would also say to get 3 of them
You could get a dolmation mollie. or a couple more guppies.
