The fish I was looking at were: Neon tetras, Goldfish, Angelfish, Betta, Crab as the bottom feeder, ...and some kind of tank cleaner fish. Could you tell me if the selections I have made are good or bad? original post: December 29, 2006, 4:23 am anonymous 2008-05-01 Answer no. 1 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=my-new-aquarium#2 Hello, At first, fish which I don’t recommend: Goldfish Angelfish I also don’t recommend any Crab for such tank. 10 Gallons tank is too small for them (both, fish and crab). Neon tetras are good, however I wouldn’t prefer them, since you’ll need at least 15 of them. They’re fish which do well in groups. The only one fish which would do well in your tank is Betta. If you have enough hiding places, feel free to buy a female and male. Otherwise, male could kill female. You could buy some Bristlenose catfish too, 4 of them would be good in the beginning. jan 2008-05-01
