[AquaticLife] setting up 10 gallon aquarium - have questions
You need to look at fish that stay closer to one inch which limits your choices. In a 10G, you would only want 10 small 1″ fish and you are planning for five pygmy corys so your other 5-6 fish should be in the lower 1″ range. If you went with 5-6 2″ fish, you would be overstocked by 50% by even the minimalist of standards.
If you don’t like the ones you were first interested in, go to my blog and on the right side, there is a link to 10G Stocking Suggestions under the labels section. Read over that article by Hailey and you’ll get many other suggestions.
Another fish that stays very small is the Galaxy Raspbora so you might want to see if your LFS has them.
I wouldn’t go with both oto’s and pygmy corys since they are both mostly bottom dwellers. Your first plan to go with the pygmy corys (bottom dwellers) and a small school of small tetras would be a more visually active tank.
