Would this work for a 10 gallon?

I have a filter, heater, thermometer, gravel, fake plants, and is established, for it has been up and running for many years. I'm thinking of getting 3 tiger barbs, 1 male honey gourami and 2 female honey gouramis. Would this work?? Also, I heard that tiger barbs get lazy and faded when they get old. Is this true?? Are there any cool fish I could add instead of the honey gouramis?? Tiger barbs??Would this work for a 10 gallon?
Tiger Barbs grow to 3'; each, which is too big for a 10 gallon tank. A school of 5 Tiger Barbs should be in at least a 20 gallon tank. Plus they need to be in a larger group than 3.





The Gouramis would work though.Would this work for a 10 gallon?
You can't mix a platy a gourami or any barbs together. They are all aggressive fish and they all are different sizes. The gouramis would pic on the barbs but when the barbs get bigger then the grouamis the barbs will go after them. Every fish in that tank will go after the small platy to.





Also your tank is way to small. You will want at least a 20 gallon for all those fish. I have a 10 gallon fish tank. I just down graded from a 30 gallon and I have a medium sized spotted high finned pleco, a giant snail, a red male betta named Rouge and a cory cat. That is all I can basically fit besides maybe one or two small swimming fish, like two mollies. All those fish will get really big and will need to be upgraded to a bigger tank. Since it's a small tank, their going to all harass each other anyways, no matter what size they are.





I hope that helps!!!
well the combonation sounds okay, but as far as i know if your fish are healthy, even before death they shouldnt loose their color. if you decide to get those fish, watch carefully the gouramis, they can get territorial and agressive despite the whole 'honey = sweet' idea most people have. add them last in the tank if you buy them and do not put all your fish in at once... im sure you know about ammonia spikes and their lethalness.





and if you want to get another type of fish... i reccomend black moore goldfish. =] they do not need a heater.





but if you dont want coldwater fish, i love angelfish. =D
none of those fish are good for a ten gallon..to puny a tank the fish will get aggressive....





think much smaller..





neons...endler live bearers---etc....





honey gourami maybe....there nice....
The barbs may harass those gouramis. They're really suited more for larger tanks. How about a small group (3 or 4) of male fancy guppies with the gouramis instead?
yes,it would work.


no,it's not true.
