fish for beginner

[EmilyS]

I definitely wouldn't get clown loaches. They like schools and need HUGE tanks, like 75 gallons. I'd also stay away from the cory posted above, as they need 30 gallons. Mollies need that ads well.

I cannot think of any more fish that would fit into a 10 gallon. Most are either too active or get too big.

Oops! I gave the wrong name. It was Kuhli loaches I meant. They are cute and stay nice and small, around 3 or 4 inches long. They are also great bottom feeders so they keep the tank nice and clean. Here is a picture

10 gallon?

I'd go with 3 loaches and a dozen tetras. Neons school hardcore and need the numbers.

jsyk Neons shouldn't be put in a new tank. If it's the looks you like go with the Cardinals. They look very similar and are much more hardy.

Ahh, that makes more sense! Kuhlis would be a good choice

Edit: you could do 4 kuhlis and 6 small tetras.
