[@LeeDfined]

Thank you so much for this. So many fish hobbyist act like it's a crime if you don't have a thousand gallon tank in every corner of your house. So thank you for giving us normal people cool and achievable goals for our humble little aquatic homes. I currently have a 15 gallon, a 29 gallon used as a terrarium and I am seeking to build a 10 gallon centerpiece tank. The simple fact that you mentioned it showed me my intentions are pure.

[@onlygameplay134]

Nobody will call you out because you have a smaller aquarium. But you will be called out if you overstock that aquarium, or use fish that need way more space... Also, you cannot afford a big aquarium, but you have 3 smaller aquariums, of the same size as a big 54-gallon aquarium. And you still consider yourself a normal person, while holding 3 aquariums, instead of one that average fish keepers have... So what are you saying exactly? :D

[@Ucceah]

one thing i absolutely love for small tanks, especially for a darker jungle-look, with knurly woods, ferns, and anubias, is a java moss back wall. it's a slow burn. but once it has grown into a dense mat, it looks wonderfully lush and dark, and soaks up nitrates. if you do HMFs: yes, perfect combo!

[@Kierakittie]

My 10 gal started out with some white cloud mountain minnows, panda corys, and the star was the betta fish. I added the betta last. It's a live-planted tank so I made sure it was well and stable with healthy plants. Then I added the betta, I floated him in his cup with low light for a while. Not just to get the temps the same but I wanted him to get a look/see/feel for his neighbors. He was a young betta. I added him in and at first, he was very curious and checked everyone out, but before the end of the day, he just explores the tank now. It's been about 2 years and he's fine and everyone coexists fine. Its been updated to a 20 gal tall now, he's still been moved over, now shares it with a bristle nose pleco, and a 3 Endler guppies with those mountain minnows and panda corys.

[@wildcrow6250]

I followed your advice and did my first guppy tank. And the excitement I have from seeing babies who are now free swimming is unlike any other so far.

[@YoungSinatra25]

It's awesome at first; especially watching them grow/develop. Then they keep breeding and your quickly overstocked. Once a female is impregnated she's popping out babies for the rest of her life. You'll need to do population control down the road.

i cant believe it, 6 schooling fish, 5 panda cories and a honey gourami in a 10 gallon? i asked so many times on different fish forums if those fish would be fine in my 15 gallon and they ALWAYS said i needed atleast 20 gallons for those fish together. thank you so much cory, im so glad you uploaded this.

[@CDReimer]

Depends on how religious you are about 1" of fish per gallon of water. If all the fishes were adult sized, you would have 20 inches of fishes in 10 gallons. Schooling fish take up less space since they stick together as a group. If we assigned an inch of schooling fish per 1/2 gallon, the number changes to seven inches of fishes in 10 gallon.

[@gabyslittlegarden]

Omg fish forums bash the hell outta me too! My tank has been stable for almost a year now, never had any problems whatsoever. I’ve got 4 endlers, a bristlenose, a male/female pair of threadfin rainsbows, a green Cory, a kuhli and 2 horned nerites. They condemn me for it, but it’s heavily planted and I do 50% water changes every week. Never had any problem, and it’s just odds and ends fish I’ve ended up with. They balanced themselves out lol. if it works for you, then it works for you

[@boiledprawn9384]

6:42 Good point.I always wanted to try those planted tank stuff after seeing sooooo many nano tank vids on KZbin.And I did...with 10 neon tetras and Corys.But I wasn't happy.The fishes are too small and insignificant(that's just how I feel.)I do not get attached to them.I rarely do maintainance the tank as I lose interest in it. Then one day I decided sold the tank and now I'm starting again with a 20 gallon tank and two cute ranchu goldfish.And I absolutely love them.I really love maintaining their tank.I love watching them swim all day.All I'm saying is that planted tanks looks cool and its only natural that you want to try it.But they are not suitable for those who only loves keeping fish.Just keep the fish you want and love.Don't do Nano tank just because other people are doing it.

As stated in this video, Celestial Pearls are not shy within well planted aquariams. Ideal set up would have dense plants around back + mid ground and topped off some surface plants. Through trial & error i've discovered that adding a % of red LED's into the mix of your lighting set-up makes the Celestial body colouring look really spectacular.

I have a 30 Liter Cube (about 7-8 Gal) and I have it stocked with a betta, 11 rasboras and three kuhli-loaches. Also three Neocaridinia shrimp („normal“ colour, so that they don’t really act as a eye-catcher, but solely as cleanup-crew) Scaped with Black soil, and only one corner planted (but that makes up about 1/3 of the tank) with different types of anubias and other plants consisting of big leaves. This green corner is surrounded by a few „big“ black rocks, under which the kuhlis hide during the day. Using a simple electric sponge-filter for filtration and a cheap 25W heater in winter. The heater is on the same timer as my light which leads to the fish having a natural cooldown during nighttime. The tank is running like this for about a year and no problems whatsoever.

[@Hannah-ru8rx]

I love Khulis 💕 I bought a trio to go with my betta as well, he loved to swim next to them, but unfortunately my filter stopped up over night bc it got sand in it the night before I planned on moving every one to my larger tank I had picked up off the curb

@Noverist At a minimum a betta needs 2.5 gallons, but 5 gallons and up is best. In a 10g you can have tank mates with a betta depending on how friendly your betta is. Also, in a larger tank your betta will be more active with brighter colors.

[@cypheri1339]

Most bettas I've had lived in a 26 gallon community tank with cories and tetras, but I had one who got super stressed when introduced to the community and had to be moved to his own tank. I tried a bowfront 5 gallon at first, but he still seemed a bit anxious. I ended up moving him to a 2.5 gallon sitting on a bookshelf so that his field of view was limited and he seemed to calm down quite a lot. That one strange fish is the only one I've ever had reject the large community system, but it can happen.

Great channel and videos! My 29 gallon is similar to the setup you mentioned with Corys I have 1 moonlight gourami 9 White Cloud Mountain minnows 6 albino Cory’s 1 dwarf Lilly And a albino Bristlenose pleco. According to my research I am slightly overstocked but all the fish seem to be fine. I had tanks a lot when I was younger so I’m not totally new do you think since all the fish swim in different areas and are peaceful (the gourami is even pretty timid) that It will be ok? How much should I worry about inches to gallons and the gourami is my main question but any other tips you can think of would be great as it has been awhile since I had a tank and I am totally new to live plants. I have a few other questions I’m gonna list but I may actually private message you and others with this so feel free to ignore this if you don’t have the time Any thinks like water jets for current that the fish may prefer? Also my filter sits fully in the tank I bought it at Wally World and it is brand new but also usable for reptiles so it doesn’t have the straw like others I’ve seen. Should I switch? I have my gourami hiding places and he just swims to and from them it’s been about two weeks is it normal for him to be so timid? I was thinking maybe the school of white clouds congregating in the top middle of the tank might be disturbing him But I have never have a moonlight gourami so maybe this is normal, he doesn’t attack any other fish and is very non aggressive That’s all I can think of now your channel is fantastic and if you (or anyone in this comment stream) can answer or help with even one of these questions it would help put my worrisome fish owner mind at ease lol have a good one and keep up the great vids!

Can't beat Peanut Butter Gourami Sandwiches, all time favorite lunch time snack lol.

I have a black Moore goldfish (he’ll be moved when he gets bigger, and I’ve had them with community fish before no problem) along with a school of like 6 bloodfin tetras, 2 blue wag platties, an albino Corey, and a fancy guppy. The similarly sized fish have started to school together. It’s pretty amazing watching them. The blue wags are my current favorites

[@2bgaming122]

i keep fancy guppies and i breed them

[@sophiawohl]

In my planted 10 gallon I have a purple/red female crowntail betta, a small school of glowlight tetras, and a school of paleatus, jullii, and panda corys + 2 mystery snails. It's the perfect tank setup for any betta and the tank stays very active and peaceful 🙌🏽

[@fab-freshaquaponicbiospher6335]

Please share list of stocking with numbers.. I'm setting up a new 10G

[@nathanleclercq5106]

3 pea puffers, 3 otocinclus and about 10-15 assorted stem plants and some java ferns

[@pamelamartin5724]

In one of my 10 gal. I have a gorgeous bright yellow male betta. I was also keeping a school of neon tetras with him, but was having trouble keeping the ammonia in control, so he is in there alone now. It's a pretty tank: black sand, and green and purple plastic plants of varying sizes, and a cute little yellow and purple mushroom cottage that he loves to hang out in. I'm using Fluval 30 gal HOB filter. I thought that would be enough to keep the ammonia down with regular water changes.

[@awillcome9173]

I have 4 spotted cory 1 betta and about 8 guppies

[@calliebrown1005]

In my ten gallon I have some small snails, 1 chunky rosy barb, 4 X-ray tetras and 1 glass catfish. It’s planted with wood and stone and I’ve had it set up for over a year :)

[@animeboy3012]

What heater do you recommend for a 20 gallon black neon tetra tank? By the way love your vids pls reply

[@dallenharris2536]

a 100 watt heater is the minimum size for a 20 gallon tank heater

[@galatea742]

For my 10 gallons, I have a planted tank, with amazon swords, java fern marimo moss balls. My stocking is one male betta fish, some ottocinclus and some shrimp. I LOVE this tank, and it is extremely low maintenance!

[@Eva_Alexander]

I have a 10 gallon that has 6 green neon tetras. I'd really like to add a betta and a little school of pygmy corys, maybe 5? Does that sound too over stocked to you? I'm a total beginner to this hobby, so any advice that you have would be great!!! Also love your vids, I've learned so much about fish!!! Thank you🐠

[@Davytjuhh]

Add 2 honey gourami's instead of the betta and 5 little cory's, I think it would look awesome!

[@Eva_Alexander]

I haven't really been looking into hunny gouramis much, but I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks

[@YoungSinatra25]

Sounds appropriate to me.

[@uhohhotdog]

Sounds like a lot for 10 gallon. Maybe if it’s heavily planted.

[@bimbim1885]

I would say Betta is a bit aggressive when put in a community tank, you can change Betta to Dwarf Gourami instead, but do not get a pair of 2, because gourami types don't like their own kind, often times they would fight and one become alpha and the other one got bullied, I suggest only buy one or more than 4 to break their aggressions. If you want to overstock your 10 gallon, it's fine as long as you have a decent filter that can pump your 10 gallon water / hour, also you can put an easy live plants that you can find in most fish store like amazon swords and other vertical-growing plants to provide their oxygen, cleaning your fish wastes and giving them hiding spots. Sorry for long reply, I speak of this as of my experience for my 10 Gallon community tank too, today they still healthy and looks great

[@codyshowalter583]

I have a 20 gallon with 1 flame dwarf gourami and 20 celestial pearl danios (I live in China and they’re less than $1 here). It’s an iwagumi style scape with co2 as I’ve got a dwarf baby tears carpet that’s coming along. Also have a colony of shrimp in there that’s still around and thriving from the previous scape. Everyone has been together in there about a month and getting along great and the scape is starting to fill out nicely.

[@bardockssjtwo]

20 long vs 20 high

[@ChrisSmith-hi5ew]

Afro Shinigami to me it’s not about what is better, but what is best. For example, I would put rummy nose tetras in a 20 long than the other. That’s just my opinion.

[@scottmurphy4946]

20 long if you are going with a planted tank

[@jones6613]

This helped me sooo much because I am currently saving up to by a 15 gallon and the different categories of stuff like the: Centrepiece fish Shoals Bottom dwellers Really helped me decide what to go for so appreciate it!

[@beccaruland5760]

I just keep a betta in my 10 gallon...

[@lisaapodaca7619]

My scape is looking awesome thanks to all the great plants I got from aquarium co-op, thanks for the best!

[@cthulhu3392]

I was thinking some of the normal red endlers live bearers (the super colourful red ones). With some velvet blue dream and ammano shrimp. Thoughts anyone?

[@cthulhu3392]

@@jeffsaquariumhobbyenjoymen9468 any further sugestions?

[@gabyslittlegarden]

I have a school of the normal endlers, they’re so rewarding to keep and they’re always out and about :) They won’t pick on shrimp or anything. If they’re the only fish, get a big school of like 8-10, they stay about 1/2 inch

[@cthulhu3392]

@@gabyslittlegarden awesome thank you

[@cthulhu3392]

@@jeffsaquariumhobbyenjoymen9468 i would love to. But i cant seem to find pygmy corys anywhere where i live will try though

[@aina3387]

I have an endler, and three endler-sized feeder guppies (who are really pretty) in my 10, along with some pygmy cories, shrimp, and lots of plants. It is great!

[@whoaitsjape]

Love the clips of Aquapro’s cherry barbs and Pecktec’s face scape!

[@mikemittens6492]

I’ve had a gourami I bought about three years ago had him in with a small blood parrot. He bullied the parrot and killed everything else but the pleco.put him with two smaller oscars he grew with those guys and the three of them are inseparable. I put another baby gourami in that ten gallon and he’s a killer too. I gave up he’s been by himself for a year

[@XScarlegsofduskclanX]

My 10 gallon is pretty simple. We are getting a new one soon which I plan to fully plant. Not egear to wait for the tank to cycle but I want to do what’s best for my babies❤️. Gives me plenty of time to get plants and things!

[@jeetjoshi1141]

I have a betta and 10 zebra danios with neorite snails

[@jessicafang3273]

I have a betta and 8 leopard danios with nerite snails!

[@angelaclements1244]

I thought danios preferred cooler temperatures and strong flow whereas Betta like warmer and little flow as not strong swimmers? I'm interested as I have danios and it's like they're on speed and zippy( plus nippy) and I think they'd irritate my Betta who also as a 56l tank .

[@audrisampson]

For a kids tank, I have a 5 gallon that has been running for 2 years with 3 pink glow tiger barbs and a nerite snail. Set it up with Neon plants and black sand as a bit of a joke figuring the globarbs wouldn't last a month but they are full size and doing great. Filtration on it is the little powerfilter that comes with the 5 gallon aqueon bow front and a foam filer attached to an air pump.

[@michaeljohnston4167]

Really hate to say this as I've enjoyed the content for years now, Since the old days with Lamont. But the content lately in the past couple months is very alienating. Recently only a few viddos back you did another 10 gallon tank idea video also. And I just can't relate. Lots of tank idea videos being put on the channel. I know its easy content but after a video or two it becomes monotonous and stale. No disrespect, just using the comment section for some constructive criticism. I hope you can find your path back to the innovative and creative content so I can continue to enjoy the channel because I know you can be much greater Cory. Again no disrespect, only commenting as if I was a friend giving constructive criticism.

[@fastflat4]

Building a 10 gallon for my kids. I would love to scoop some little fish out of the creek. And keep it as native setup as possible. First tank

[@MrJuniormikey]

8 porkcop rasbora and 1 bristle nose pleco in my 10 gallon.

[@charadreemurr1083]

Personally my 10 has a single female betta in it, but most likely once shes passed on im planning to make the tank a shrimp tank. Loving the fact that the lid/light it came with is enough to grow wisteria and corkscrew val though! cant wait to get some shrimp in there.

[@lolfern4064]

In my 10 I have a powder blue gourami, 4 red eye tetras, and a oranda goldfish.

[@victorcastle5463]

hi just subscribed to your channel.just bought my first 10 gallon tank for tropical fish.total newbie but already getting addicted to the hobby and learning so much already .

[@CourtneyMeows]

I really appreciate the point you make not to compare your tank to all of the other beautiful tanks you see... I wouldn’t have thought about how much equipment could have been taken out for the photo/video.

[@AquariumCoop]

Yep, so much staging goes into taking the picture

[@EddVCR]

FANTASTIC video, Cory. I appreciate the heck out of how you break things down so it’s super easy to understand. I’m not even a beginner; I just love to spend my time fantasizing about having an aquarium one day, and I was able to follow you. (BTW my fantasy tank is a heated, planted 20 gallon tank with sponge filter, housing beginner friendly plants, a honey gourami, 6 or more cardinal or neon tetras, and 6 corydoras- the panda corydoras you showed are really adorable!)

[@iamtherealestate]

I have a 10g planted tank with 1 female betta. 3 African dwarf frogs, 3 ghost shrimp, 2 nerite snails. Everyone gets along and it's a fun little eco system to watch.

[@indie502]

I have a yellow and pink Danio as well as 2 Celestial Pearl Danios. they were SO shy and were hiding all the time until I purchased 5 Zebra Danios, now my pearls are so social and love hanging out with the Zebras.

[@elizabethduffield2624]

Super interesting as usual thank you

I have a 10gal and ive just got a school of 5 neon tetras. Buying another 3 tomorrow!! Theyre so cool i want them to have more friends 😍 still looking for my centrepiece fish. But DEFINITELY getting some Venezuelan corys for bottom feeders!
