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.

[@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

[@chelsiesorensen6218]

I’m brand new to the hobby. Only had my 10 gal for about 2 months. I love it so much! I ended up doing dwarf puffers with Otocinclus Catfish and some ghost shrimp in a heavily planted tank. So much personality and movement 😊 Your videos really helped me a lot to get my tank up and running!

[@ArnoldQMudskipper]

Did the puffers not go for the shrimp?

[@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.

[@daddytankee6767]

Every Betta deserves a 10 gallon

[@DutyJames]

So agree

[@Cattt6666]

Daddy Tankee mines in a 5 the minimum is 2.5 sorry to say, but 10 is 4x what you need

[@sageoblouk6782]

@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.

[@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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Well I’ve seen a few sources that inches to gallons is not valid to measure how much is too much, because bottom dwellers, mid dwellers, etc... but if your responsible and have a keen eye I really don’t see why overstocking is really that bad

[@yourlocaltoad5102]

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]

Cherry barb

[@FaLLenStormyGod]

Ethan Hopkins i see its a barb that might not be suitable to my tetras but i hope i can find one here, thanks for the reply 😊

[@fossphur]

Cherry barbs are pretty peaceful, they are reportedly a lot politer than their larger cousins!

[@ChrisSmith-hi5ew]

Interesting combination of fishes in a ten gallon.

Love how you do 10 gallon ideas because sometimes idont know what to get for my 29gallon community

[@georgefarr43]

Awesome great tips everytime I watch

[@nathanleclercq5106]

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

I’m so exited because I have a 55 gallon I got for free for Christmas and I’m getting a 10 gal for my birthday :))))))))

[@elr5475]

Wow so much great info! Thx so much!

[@josecruz021]

I would like to see a video of easiest fish to breed, especially something you can breed in a 10 since it's easily available and most people have ethek hanging around. Please like so he sees this

[@AquariumCoop]

I read all the comments. There are plenty of videos on the channel on what to breed for a 10 gallon.

[@ric7650]

Celestial pearl danios are easy to breed in a 10 gallon tank! Ive got a hang on the back breeding box where I put the tiny fry once i spot them! They breed like every week its crazy. The only hard thing is catching the mega tiny fry so they dont get eaten hahaha

[@erikanucci5737]

Guppies might be the easiest

[@DutyJames]

Kribs

[@gecko7479]

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!

[@gecko7479]

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

[@misterbgs1]

10g can be a challenge. Informative. Tnks for ideas!

[@dynestis2875]

*I stocked* my 14 gallon with 1 male Honey gourami, 6 Celestial pearl Danio's, and a small colony of shrimp that is now expanding. It's a fun combination of a calm and active tank :)

[@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

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!

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

[@turnipsucks6416]

Great series. Allows for creative ideas for a beginner to enjoy more, and the rest of us to grow off of.

[@Gofkyrself]

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

[@beccaruland5760]

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

[@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

[@joshgarner8655]

My 10 gallon is home to a small school of 6 tiger barbs. Very beautiful fish and really active. My kids and I have fun just watching them play

[@elvinsworld11]

Lovely to see this kind of a video, pls do more.

[@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 .

[@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.

[@nicholasguthrie8143]

I have a few dwarf gouramis alongside some Bala sharks and they love it!! They are very small right now and will be bumped up to larger tank here soon!

[@Haledamaged]

Solid video! Great info!
