Can I keep 3 mollies, 4 guppies, 4 zebra danios, and a botton feeder together in a 10-gallon tank??

Question

The mollies are all going to be male, and the guppies are going to be male also. I don't know about the zebra danios.

Answer 1

Yes that's absolutely fine
the zebra danios are egglayers, so I don't think you have to worry about baby fish with them

Hope that helps
Good luck

Answer 2

Those are all ok fish to keep together, but the general rule is 1in of fish per gallon. Obviously it isn't a life or death rule, as 10-12 guppies do fine in a 10 gallon tank no matter their length, but more of a hint at keeping good water quality. Having a bottom feeder balances this out a bit as it will clean up excess food and keep fungus/bacteria from forming and also eat algae. I just suggest that if your mollies grow to be 3 in or more that you have a seperate tank for extra fish. This amount of fish will require more frequent partial/full water changes and tank cleaning. Hope this helped! Sorry if I was too wordy :)

Answer 3

he short answer: a school of 5-6 is the minimum. This tank can probably support 7-8 1.5" fish with good filtration and maintenance.

Petite body fish
1” per gallon or 1” per 12 sq. in. of surface
For example 20 long has 360 sq. in. surface area
360/12=30
Can a 20 long support 30” of fish? Probably not.
A 20 high has only 288 sq. in. surface area
288/12=24
Can a 20 high support 24” of fish? Probably not.
A 25 is also 288 sq. in. surface area
288/12=24
Can a 25 support 24” of fish? Probably.
I like to average the two for a more accurate capacity.
For the 20 long, 30 by surface area, 20 by volume averages to 25”
Can a 20 long support 25” of fish? Probably.
For the 20 high, 24 by surface area, 20 by volume averages to 22”
Can a 20 high support 22” of fish? Probably.
Why does the 20 long support 3” more fish that the 20 high?
A larger surface area allows a greater oxygen exchange, which is as important as volume of water.
Large bodied fish, such as gold fish you need to double or even triple these numbers, i.e. 3 gallons per inch and 36 sq. in. of surface per 1” of fish.
This is not the only consideration for fish tanks. Types of fish will appreciate one type of tank over another. For example, fast swimmers like Zebra Danios, Pearl Danios and Blue Danios will do best in a tank that is at least 30” long. They would be better kept in a 20 long rather than a 25. Giant Danios would do best in a tank at least 48” long. They would be better kept in a 55 rather than a 65. There is no way a 10" Oscar is going to fit in a 10 gallon tank obviously...
On the other hand, slow, tall bodied fish like Angel Fish and Discus will do best in a deep tank. They would be better kept in a 65 rather than a 55. They, like other cichlids also need a bit more than the 1” per gallon and/or 12 sq. in. surface.

Answer 4

the ten gallon is lots to small for all those fish. Overcrowding will deliver approximately aggression and additionally your tank gets very grimy till you have a great filter out. till you % your tiger barbs attacking your guppy's ( with the effective tails) you ought to provide them room, and by no capacity positioned them in a great team, persist with 2. additionally Danios could be extremely aggressive in great communities. make optimistic your pairing your fish extraordinary. Guppy's will bypass effective with platy's, molly's, and tetras of a few types.

Answer 5

I would say yes because if do particle water changes .I have a 20 gal 6 Tigar Barbs, 5silver dollars ,3clown loaches, 1 3-spot blue gourami, 1kissing gourami, 2 mollies, 1 Iridescent catfish, and a juvie firemouth..and a albino placo I do 1/2 water changes and siphon the gravel .. u should not have a problem with your fish.

Answer 6

Yes that's is fine. but you will need a bigger tank about
a 20 gallon tank or bigger.
