Need help with a new tank?!?!?!?!?

Question

i am getting a 10gallon tank for 2female guppies and a male guppy, can i put some tetras and plecos in eith it????

Answer 1

Tetras r good but no plecos.

Answer 2

The plecs get HUGE, so unless you're plannign on eventually upgrading to a larger tank I wouldn't. They are also p**p machines and create a lot of waste. I'd instead go with Cory's.

You can put some tetra's in as they are low waste. However, remember your guppies WILL be pregnant and spawn a lot of fry. So your tank will be more than populated relatively soon depending on if your female guppies are virgins when you get them.

Answer 3

you could put a few tetras but soon or later your guppies will spawn and that tank will be overpopulated  

Answer 4

10 gallons is too small for any pleco or suckermouth fish. In theory Otos could fit, but they need to be in groups, and need very mature (over 6 month old) tanks with heavy soft algae growth.

You could consider a group of 5-6 neon tetras or ember tetras maximum.

But with 2 female guppies and a male guppy, they'll soon fill that tank on their own.
