10g Community ideas

CyberSpike · 09-30-2006, 12:39 PM

Currently I have 3 Cherry Barbs and 2 Mystery snails living in a planted, and well maintained 10g system.

Should I:

Purchase 3-4 more barbs and have a barb tank? (However I do know that some cherry barbs prefer some solitude and are less of a schooling fish than other barbs)

or

Purchase a small school of maybe 6 neon tetras? (Possibly risking some overstocking, yet the tank is very well maintained and planted making bioload a little less of an issue)

Any comments or suggestions on which plan I should use? Or does anyone else have any other helpful ideas or community suggestions?

I love cherry barbs and would go with them. While they may not school as tightly as other types of barbs, they do prefer the company of their own.
