Hi, new to the forum and relatively new to the hobby.
I've been working on a 10 gallon tank for about 2 months now, working through the process of cycling and deciding on stock. Currently it has some Guppy fry (from other tanks, doing what Guppies do) for a little less than a month now, keeping it cycled and entertaining me for the time being. Added 2 zebra nerite snails a few days ago, 1 as a permanent resident, 1 that will be moving to another tank as a gift soon. Looking to remove the guppies and move on to something less likely to breed to such extremes.
The tank currently has a sand substrate, rocks and a piece of Driftwood, and is pretty heavily planted (every day it seems the plants have filled out a lot more!). Not sure on some of the species, but just added a small crypt and some java moss. All the other ones are tall growing plants that I pulled from other projects. Still adding more plants whenever the funds are available (duckweed next?). Filtration is minimal for the moment, with a small sponge filter.
I've been doing some research, and some fish species that have caught my eye are as follows:
Sparkling/Pygmy Gouramis
Kuhli/Java Loaches
Chili Rasboras
Celestial Pearl Danios
Clown Killifish (if I can find them at LFS)
I'm pretty set on a community tank, with at least 2 species, just what appeals to me the most.
I'm open to suggestions, or combinations that might work. Any help would be appreciated!
