What do you recommend putting into a heated/filtered 10 gal. fish aquarium?

Question

I also have plants and an old building. I do not want to use goldfish because they always die.

Answer 1

a couple of opaline gourami, then you can add dwarf frogs, oto cats or something similar... but i definatly recommend those opaline gourami!!!  my favorate fish, and they are very hardy, almost as hardy as the betta (their cousin...)  and very beautiful with great personalities, and they get about four inches...

Answer 2

Well, that tank is to small for a goldfish, and goldfish will live a long time IF you can give them proper care and not stick them in a bowl. Maybe some african dwarf frogs, zebra danios, and a betta!=)

Answer 3

those little bottom feeder fish things...the ones that always be suckin on the glass

Answer 4

i'd say get some guppies, but instead of just saying that, im gonna provide some more info on why you should get them. first of all, they can live in like any water condition, though they provide about 78 degrees normally, the babies (which you will get lots of) prefer 86 degrees to grow faster, and to breed and really set the mood its 82 degrees for the male and female. ok now for the breeding. youve heard of people getting tired of their fish dying in a couple months and them having to go buy new ones. guppies arent like that. guppies are very disease resistant because they originate in south america in small streams or ponds where any water condition is fine for them. they also live a very long time, but depending on how low the temperature is will make their life be a lot longer. i have some guppies that are 2 years old! and if something unfortunate happens say a couple guppies die, they are reproducing so fast, they will replace their unfortunae brothers and sisters. the only very small downside is you may need a couple extra tanks if you want to keep them all. otherwise you can sell them to a local pet store where they will gladly take them in exchange for money, or store credit where you can get free pet supplies to support your guppy breeding "addiction" that it may soon become. guppies are also very colorful. the males tend to have smaller bodies but bigger more colorful tails, as the females have much larger bodies (especially when their pregnant) shorter less colorful tails. definitely keep them, becuase they are the future to guppies that are soon to come. the females give birth to 30-50 guppies, however many are eaten by the parents and other fish. to prevent this you should get aquarium plants. i hope you found this information helpful, and BEST ANSWER PLEASE! i hope you can tell that this answer blew the others out of the water : ) good luck with the guppies i hope you are soon to get, and happy breeding!
