Which Mixture Of Fish?

Question

Which fish combination would be easiest to care for? Make sure the combination you choose don't fight and do get along and also if you chose 2, 3, or 4 tell me if you want the corydora or the platy or any other type that is small.

1.)6 neon tetras, 6 glofishes

2.)5 neon tetras, 3 glofish, 2 platy

3.)4 neon tetras, 4 glofish, 2 platy

4.)3 neon tetras, 3 glofish, 3 platy

Depending on which one you choose that one will be in a 10 gallon tank that I have already bought.

Answer 1

My fist choice is 1. My second is 2. Neons are happies in larger groups.

Answer 2

the first one

tetras and glo fish need to school in groups of atleast 6

Answer 3

Probably two would be best - neons do much better in larger groups.

However, you'll seriously be stretching the amount of space in your tank. A minimum rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per 1 gallon. Since platys and some types of glofish can grow to much more than 1 inch, you may be overcrowding your tank. Neon tetras especially are sensitive, and could die quickly in this situation.
