   I have a 20 gallon tank with the following:
   2 baby turtles (until they outgrow it and are going into a pond)
   2 Platys
   4 Rainbow tetras

   Theres drifwood and plants in there with river rocks. It looks really cool because it looks like a cross-section of a pond or something hehe its very natural looking I like it

   I have a 10 gallon tank and in it there is one male Betta fish and 6 guppies. If you have the space and option I would get a 20 gallon tank. They are more forgiving then a 10 gallon tank.

   Happy Fish Keeping!

   I have two aquariums. In my 20 gallon long, I have a school of red eyed tetras, a school of tiger barbs and one plecostama (to keep the algae down). In my 45 gallon, I have two LARGE Oscars (one is black with orange, one is white with orange and red eyes), four silver dollar tetras (they ’school’ with the oscars, since they aren’t very bright) and six neon yellow ciclids, plus two plecostamas. I bought two ‘medium’ and one ’small’ pleco, and they have all grown and are now much larger than any ‘large’ you can buy in most fish stores … and I actually now like my plecos as much as I do my ‘regular’ fish! I have green plants in the small tank, and NO plants in the large one, only a large ‘coral’ with a hole in it … the ciclids like to swim through it and the plecos love it, but the Oscars avoid it now that they have growntoo large to swim through the hole.

   Good question!

   10 gallon tank

   6 neon tetras
   4 dwarf cory catfish
   1 dwarf gourami

   -freshwater, tropical

   40 gallon tank

   3 goldfish

   -freshwater, cold

   Have fun with your aquarium. It takes a lot of work it the begining (setting it up and waiting until the fishless cycle was done) but it is all paid off when you see it finished. Its the greatest hobby!

    I just started a 10 gallon freshwater tropical aquarium. I have with 3 small tiger barbs, 3 platys, and one clown loach. They all seem to be doing well. I may add a few neons or fancy guppies to make the tank more colorful.
