Question
hey,
i have a 10 gallon tank, and i want to fill it with fresh water fish!  I want to have a very large veriaty of exotic fish, what kinds would fit in a 10 gallon tank and get along together???
thanks for your time!

Answer
Hi Mackenzie:   ten gallons and very large... do not mix well.  with a ten gallon tank you are pretty much limited to about 10 very small fish or 4 medium sized fish.  

If I wanted an exotic tank and was limited by size I would get:

Two Ghost glass cats (they need to be in sets of two or more)

Two Hatchet fish (they need to be in sets of two or more)

One or two Dojo Loach ( They are like eels)

One Mystery Snail

Two Dwarf Gouramis

one Male Betta

One cory catfish
.... make sure you provide sand for the loach if you chose those...

Absolutely no cichlids, angelfish, etc.... the tank is too small

Let me know if you have further questions... dave
