Updated Tiny Fish List

[SchizotypalVamp]

Hello everyone . This is the new, put together, all in one, update tiny fish list.

This list is meant to be a survey of species which can survive, and thrive, in a ten gallon tank(and, in some cases, under). It's not meant to be "how many fish can I throw in there?" This is also not a care sheet. I have deliberately left out care information to encourage viewers to do their own research.

I am not perfect, and as you can see, there are quite a lot of fish on this list. I have not kept close to half. Also, I am constantly discovering new species. I am very open to comments, suggestions, and debates on my choices for this list.

With that said, I hope that this is helpful for many people. Thanks for viewing!

Please don't comment on this thread until after it's fully done, in an effort to keep it clean. Until then, feel free to use this page: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152366
to express any opinions, doubts, concerns(or compliments! Hopefully there will be compliments...). After it's done, post freely, of course!

LIVEBEARERS

I'd like to thank the American Livebearer Association, http://livebearers.org/ , for its help

Endler’s Livebearer(Poecilia Wingei)

(More strains have been developed)

Fancy Guppy
There are many strains of these! Here are just a couple

Platy****( Xiphophorus maculatus)
Again, many strains have been developed. Here are a couple:

Micropoecilia sp.
There are only a few species in this genus, but I would rather not list them all. Here are some pictures:

Smallfinger topminnow (Giradinus microdactylus)

Mosquito fish (Phallocerus sp.)
Genus, not species

 

[SchizotypalVamp]

Characodon sp.

Note: one species I was recompensed on the livebearer's association board, but cannot find a size for.

I believe I can safely say Girardinus sp. can go on the list. However, as there isn't much information on this fish, please double check your species.

Least Killifish(Heterandria formosa)

Pygmy Swordtail(Xiphophorus pymaeus)

Pygmy swordtail (Xiphophorus nigrensis)

Northern Mountain Swordtail(Xiphophorus nezahualcoyotl)

High-Backed Pygmy Swordtail (Xiphophorus multilineatus)
