So I now have a 10 gallon with 2 emerald cory's and 2 ADF's. Just wondering what would make an interesting tank with these fish. I thought of guppies but the ADF's would eat the fry so don't want to try them. Just curious as to what you would pick, any ideas welcome

Well, my favorite are mollies. There is a strand called the balloon belly molly. It looks so fat and cute. If not that, I would say maybe blue platies.

If life gives you lemons, squeeze them into people's eyes and run away!

What's a siggie?

Tetras would be good... or CHERRY BARBS! I LOVE THEM MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA Just make sure they are kept with other shy/calm species.

Cool suggestions thank you, how many can I keep in a 10 gallon with what I have?

(and a siggie/y or signiture is what your lemon quote is. Some people like making them with pictures and personalizing them. For example my fish pix with some of their names below v  )

OOOOH siggie... a signature.... gotcha

um....

2 FEMALE balloon belly mollies or 1 male. These breed like crazy... not as fast as guppies, but surely with larger broods

3 cherry barbs, 1 male and 2 females (I have this combo but they aren't really interested in each other, other people with cherry barbs say this too.)

1 swordtail (I LOVE KOI SWORDTAIL! Or maybe Red Velvet if ya like it) keep on male or female, if you want more than two, make sure it is 2 females or the mating will get outta hand. And two males will cause fights and will get territorial.

3 platies for color variety. if with cherry barbs, 2 blue, and one of your choice. 2, or 3? it's up to you

tetras... neon, glolight, the tinier ones 6 of them? that's it

cherry barbs

swordtail

platies

mollies

tetras

bleh so many combos your tank

EDIT: yup, do what Hailey says, get another cory

With the bioload of the frogs and cories, I wouldn't add too much. My suggestions would be:
-three cherry barbs (1m, 2f) and another cory (they really like to be in larger groups)
or
-six neon, glowlight, or ember tetras and another cory
or
-a single betta (you never know, you may get a less aggressive one...most won't chase cories) or dwarf gourami, and another cory

.

8-) Awesome thanks. I think I'm gonna go with the tetra's and another cory. I was planning on one more cory anyway because I did read on here somewhere 3+ is better. I was going to get 2 more but didn't want the ADF's to be beat at feeding time. Allthough I watch very closely to make sure both my frogs get enough to eat.

Oh as for tetra's you said small ones, what size is small 1.5 or 2" and below? Just curious when I do my research
