Re: Fish dying

I kept a Clown Loach in my Slider tank for 10+ years. That tank was a 75Gal. 10 is very small though and less forgiving. Wild guess would be not enough filter.

If that's the case, can I upgrade to a 30 gallon filter, until I can gather the money together for the larger tank, and other necessities?

You don't have a clown loach, so you won't need as large of a tank. I still think you need more space, 10 gallons is very small.

grab a 29 gallon or something at the 1 $ per gallon sales at petco, and a filter , done.

I also need a heater. Well I guess the tank will have to sit on the floor, until I can get a stand. Now the question is, what to do with the 10 gallon? Get another snake, or more fish? (thinking neon tetras)

Make a planted vivarium out of it with live plants, a little stream, and moss ;P

Its not so bad, it doesn't have to be a real stream. Just a little pond in the middle, and you could prob use the little filter you have on there now.

Just google how to make a paludarium, its not so bad and looks very cool. When you get good at it, make a bigger one and add animals.
