Finally Decided what fish for 10g tank

[Sneaky]

So, After literally 8 months of considerations,
I made ready today my 10g tank for its newest and
final occupants.
I have decided to go with this tank with Corydoras
Hasbrosus - 8 of them, and 4 Beckford's Pencilfish.

Heres my little beauties - I am incredibly happy
with how nicely they are settling in, and how their
colors have come out.





A Little More Colorful Now



Settling In Nicely





Looking as though they are made for this tank

a couple other good pics:

So, what do you all think of the pencilfish!?!

[Scott_B]

Wow, everything looks great man! Your really good at this lol

[gottahavepets]

Oh Koran! They look so good! The pencilfish have really good colour. The cories are so tiny. I couldn't find any when I was shopping, but I'm happy with my pandas! Your frog has a lot more personality than the 2 I had as well.
Looking Great!

Thanks Scott and Colleen!
I really like them! I had pencils once before,
but in my inexperience at the time, put them in
an uncycled tank, and they both died of ammonia poisoning.
Well, come a long way since then!
Today they are even more colorful than yesterday!
I think I have 2 males and 2 females, I hope, but its super
hard to tell with pencils, as both alpha male and alpha female
will have dominant red coloration.
And the hunger! Holy Chow! These pencils must be starving the
way those mouths can inhale whole flakes LOL

As for the tank- I know the plants need trimming, but I kinda
like the wild look.

That frog in the pic thats snout is right at the glass is Krimet- I have had
him for 3 years now, hes my oldest and largest froggy.
I was worried at first that he being a solid 2 inches, would
be capable of eating the tiny dainty corys at only 1/4-1/2 inch,
but the frogs have shown no interest in the corys at all. Phew.

So right now I have 8 Cory hasbrosus - 4 are less than 1/2 inch size.
4 Beckford's Pencilfish, 1 Paradise fish, and 3 ADF's in there..
The young platy I cant catch *lol*, and 3 baby guppies.
The platy and guppies will all go to my 75g tank when i can catch the platy,
and when the little lady guppies grow a bit bigger to avoid being eaten.

I am not sure if the ADF's will stay or not.
Same as the Paradise fish.
What do you guys thinks?
8 C. Hasbrosus
4 Beckford's Pencils
3 ADF's
1 Paradise fish

The ADFS I moved out of my big tank temporarily due to the
medication I am using in the 75g being quite hard on them.
They can easily go back to the 75g any time when the meds
are finished.

This tank has the following readings:
ph 7.5
GH >250 ppm
Nitrates >10ppm.

It takes almost a whole month for the nitrAtes to rise above
20 ppm due to the massive number of plants I think.
Seems a well balanced tank. :-D
