wouldnt add anymore schools
wouldnt add anymore schools
What else should I add?
In my 10 gallon I currently have:
5 Golden white clouds
6 Celestial Pearl Danios
2 Otocinclus
8 Ghost Shrimp
What is something cheap I could add to finish off the tank. I don't have the money to add more nano fish but was thinking about neons possibly. Any other cool looking fish suggestions?

3 cardinal tetras or 3 glow fish
I like the oto idea, as for the cardinals, I think I would rather go neons, less money and from what I have read they are smaller but correct me if I am wrong.

None, sounds pretty crowded already.
I think I might have to agree with you. I was looking at my tank over lunch and thought by adding more fish they might just get stressed. There is a chance that I am going to upgrade tanks in the future and I think I will just wait until then. I am wanting at least a 55 gallon for a planted tank, and then I am going over to the dark side with a min. of 75 gallons for a saltwater reef tank, if I can convince my wife.None, sounds pretty crowded already.
Good luck with persuasion, a tip to get more tanks: involve her in the hobby, show her the fun sides of it... let her pick out fish or help aquascape/choose decor.. she'll be more inclined to let you get another tank(s) that way ^_~I think I might have to agree with you.

I have already tried to get her involved with everything. Her exact words "I want a shark!" She goes to the lfs with me sometimes and I think her attitude will change once we move into a house and get out of the cramped apartment.Good luck with persuasion, a tip to get more tanks: involve her in the hobby, show her the fun sides of it... let her pick out fish or help aquascape/choose decor.. she'll be more inclined to let you get another tank(s) that way ^_~
... Weeeelll for fresh water there are a few shark breeds you can try but they need large tanks as they grow (roseline shark, bala shark, redtail shark, Chinese hi fin shark...). For a marine shark.. haha I think she'd change her mind after hearing how big a tank those usually need and how much it'd cost to get said tank.I have already tried to get her involved with everything.

We were checking out all the fish stores around the city and found a place that had what I think was a nurse shark. It blew her mind. But yeah I am going to stick with my little 10 gallon freshwater tank for now. However, I do wanna do a reef tank in the future, but not a 500+ gallon tank....

Just lost an Oto, but was kind of anticipating this as to what most people have said. I noticed it dead last night, however the night before he looked very active and plump. This one was a lot fatter than the other one, but just thought maybe it found the mother load of food somewhere. I think I am going to just stick with this one for now.
Just lots the second Oto. It looked a lot rounder then usual a couple days ago but was still pretty active. Both of my otos looked like they swallowed marbles and then died the next day. There was plenty of diatoms on the glass and plants for it to eat. Oh well, probably won't get another one for some time.
