10g

Could i fit three balloon mollies,two swordtails and 4 tetras in a 10g?

 

What kind of tetras?

Mollies get 3"
Swordtails get 4"
Tetras can range anywere from 1" - 36+" depending on the species so you'll have to be more specific.

But even if you got neon tetras (1"), you couldn't fit all those fish in a 10 gallon.

Going on the assumption that you want neon tetras (since that's your user ID and you've mentioned them in the past), here's a couple ways you could stock a 10 gallon using the fish you mentioned.

#1
5 neons
2 mollies

#2
3 neons (but really, they'd be happier with a bigger group)
2 swordtails

#3
4 neons
1 sword tail
1 molly

#4
2 mollies
1 swordtail

#5
3 mollies

#6
3 swordtails (but that would really be pushing the limit)

#7
12 neons

r u sure sword tails get 4"? ive had mine for like 6-7 months and its like maybe a tuny bit bigger then when i got it

 

All the sites I read said 4" (and that's not including the tail/sword).

could you really fit 12 neons in a ten gallon? i wouldve thought maybe 7 or 8. if 12 fit a a 10 gallon then i mgiht set up a 10 gallon.

 

maybe mine isnt a sword tail :?: I bought it loong time ago and i was just called "Sword" I think they might be diffrent

 

Neons don't produce much waste and rarely get over 1" so you can bend the 1" rule a little. And if you had live plants you probably wouldn't have any problems fitting 12 in a 10 gallon.
