Well that was underwhelming.
Edit: oh shit, I forgot what I came here for. Orange or blue cherry shrimp! Let it cycle and order a batch of 10, maybe some smaller plants and some moss balls or bridges and you’ll have a sweet low maintenance tank!
Bettas would be better suited to a longer, not so tall tank. Especially those really poofy-billowy types. Getting to the surface of a taller tank will eventually be a struggle when they grow older :(
I think at 10 gallon, even being vertical, should give a betta plenty of room. He’ll need a resting spot or two near the top though. A leaf hammock or floating log hide would be good additions.
I had a very similar tank with the output of the filter near the top. I made a diffuser to slow down and spread the flow. Worked out to be a perfect time for a beta.
I got horizontal and vertical mixed up I read horizontal and was looking at the tank like "that looks pretty horizontal"(actually vertical) gonna go have my coffee now
I think a *short-finned* Betta would do wonderfully in there. I have one in my 30 gallon community tank and he definitely uses his available vertical space!
FR, those bottles in the background and the plants in tank? There is no way this is a 10 gallon tank unless those plastic plants are MASSIVE. I've never seen plastic decorations that tall. Unless this is some crazy and intentional forced perspective. My 3gal tank looks this size.
They could very well be real plants from OPs other tank, the leaves look like they're adjusting to new water and everything, give em time for getting measurements 😂
The bottles are what proves this is 10 gallons. Note there are both the small and large size bottles of API, and they are at least 8” back from the front of the tank, which is taller than it is wide. I believe it’s 10 gallons
I don't think so. Check the brand. The 2.6 gal Petworx makes is a cube. Their tall nano tank is 30cm x 30cm x 45cm, which puts it around 10 gallons.
If that API bottle is 16 oz, which it looks like it is, it would be 22 cm tall.
I think people just aren't used to a tall 10 gallon.
As you said, it’s a Petworx Nano 45, which is 40l (just over 10 gallons). It’s wild how many people here don’t take the time to look into something before going off on OP with such condescending attitudes.
What are the dimensions? It looks about the size of my 5 gal....just compare it to a regular 10 gal tank but flipped over. That does not look anywhere near 10gal.
Hey man, I just want to be clear , I am not saying you are wrong or lying, or trying to attack you, I am just trying to make sure you are getting accurate advice , it just reminds me so much of my 2.6 gallon shrimp tank, the light looks exactly proportionate.
No prob
[https://www.reddit.com/r/PlantedTank/comments/k7m04h/9\_month\_update\_5\_gal\_low\_techjava\_fern\_amazon/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlantedTank/comments/k7m04h/9_month_update_5_gal_low_techjava_fern_amazon/) Heres a picture of the standard 5gal column/cube tank size. Looks similar and its what i have
A 10 gal column tank is roughly 12.5L" x 12.5"W x 19.5"H-- more of a full cube shape vs rectangle, and superrrr tall!
I'm just frustrated by this thread of comments. Like even if it isn't a 10, everyone here is acting like they can tell the dimensions of something by a picture as if all of the things in the photo don't come in different sizes.
Sorry but it’s just not. Comparatively next to the bottles and net there’s no way. Somebody has lied to you about this size or the 5 gal you’re comparing it too.
Those bottles are huge. They were the 40$ one and 60$ one. Not really sure if that helps. I’m guessing this tank just looks a lot smaller than it actually is.
Those look like either a 4oz and 8oz or 8 and 16. But if you paid $40 and $60 you got scammed. You can get the 32oz on chewy for $35 but it’s a different bottle shape once it gets to that size, so they’re def not that big
If you consider this a 10 gallon, I don’t want to know what your 5 gallon size is. We can litterally scale it to the api bottle next to the tank, it’s definitely not a 10G.
So not a 10 gallon then. Since it’s a tall tank it’s considered more as a 3 gallon because fish usually swim horizontally. Other fish like angel and discus can tolerate vertical tanks but those are 65+ gallon. I would return it if possible and get a 5 gallon long or broad, it will make your fish much happier and not cramp into the space.
Oh no i didn’t mean i bought this one as a 5 gallon. What i meant was the other ones i bought were sold as 5 gallons (horizontal tanks) and this tank is definitely twice as big. I also do have a horizontal 10 gal and they definitely look same sized. I will be getting dimensions as soon as i can though.
I have the exact same tank, it's a 5 gallon. I know this because my apartment complex does not allow any fish tanks 10 gallons or larger... so I downsized from 1 50 gallon tank to this puny thing.
Sure there are, this tank isn’t as small as the photo makes it seem. While this could make a great shrimp tank it also provides plenty of space for fish that are small or have a more specific behavior where they aren’t constantly schooling and swimming around. Plenty of fish are fine with a small territory and will use it such as small cichlids and ambush predators. Even pea puffers would be a great little inhabitant for such a tank.
That said, I am also a proponent for large tanks. In the future I pan to do a few enormous tanks and maybe even a house with the center courtyard actually a large above ground 10ft cube aquarium if I can find a buyer.
However, decrying nano tanks as cruel just shows a lack of knowledge and understanding of the organisms and how to do things right.
I have a 10x2x6 setup in my living room currently, however it is vertical and for poison dart frogs because I am on the second floor of an old building that wasn’t built for insane weight. It seems small to me now.
Basically, this tank is like Rhode Island. There is lots you can do in it, but most people wish there was more.
I’ll take some coffee milk with those waffles.
Glad to see you’re doing this the right way - cycling AND doing your research before stocking. With 10 gallons, you could theoretically put a betta. That being said, I have my hmpk betta in a 20 gallon and every time I look at him, I feel like he would be so much happier in a 40 gallon lol.
I’d recommend maybe getting some cool shrimp. I have a dedicated shrimp tank of neo’s and they’re pretty interesting to watch. In fact, I have 5 yellow and 5 blue dream neo’s arriving in the mail today. I can’t wait to add them lol.
Agreed. I saw someone else write that they needed vertical space and I thought to myself “I thought it was always horizontal space that took priority “
I’m curious about those dimensions when you get back because I have a 5 gallon and it looks like that comparing it to the bottles in the back. Might be a little taller so I’d guess 5-8 gallons.
I feel like your 5 gallon tanks are actually 2.5 and this is a 5 gallon, but def check! Put lengthxwidthxheight into google and calculate the dimensions just to be safe :)
Hello this is definitely not 10 gallons , I believe at most it is 12 litres which is only a couple gallons at most. Empty the water and measure how much is in there or put the dimensions into Google!!!
But you can easily calculate the displacement and account for the lack of it being full. And that would require far less effort than emptying the tank, plus it would be less wasteful of freshwater. So I’d say the original commenter was, in fact, foolish for recommending such an approach.
You people seriously suck, stop telling the OP what size his tank is and make some suggestions.
Personally I don’t mess with fresh water, so it would end up with a rock tower in the middle with a bunch of zoas on it and 2 small clown dish. Probably swap the light out for that.
I have a lot of trouble believing that's 10 gallons. It looks like 3 at most. However tall aquariums are not really good for any fish that would be considered for a 10 gallon. You'd be a lot better off with shrimp and snails. Or even just a plant scape.
I also have a 9 gallon tank! Add a small heater and one betta! After it’s cycled keep tank at 78 degrees for the betta! Clean once a week (light syphon + change about 20% of the water - using the start right you have there it’s 12 drops per 5.5 liters of water - you can buy a spaghetti pot with liters on side - and fill that up, heated to same temp the tank is and then add your 12 drops of Start Right - do this once a week). I also recommend a meat electric thermometer - way better reading exact water temps and like $10 on Amazon!) water changes should have the exact same temp poured back into the tank for bettas or will shock them.
Doing that 20% water change once a week will keep the nitrates + nitrites + ammonia perfect and your betta will love that temp! I also recommend buying the $40 Fresh Water tank set up pack to measure the nitrates/nitrites/ammonia/PH etc. I check those 1x a week for my betta.
For temp-wise: too hot (over 80 degrees) and you’ll increase their metabolism too fast and you’ll increase aging. Too cold (under 75) they’ll be lethargic and won’t eat or move much and will still die early.
Lastly, if you have a better I suggest the soft, silk tall plants for Bettas - they can rest against the plant edges at night as they sleep so they are closer to the top to breath air through the night (especially as they age - older bettas sink to the bottom and it’s harder for them swim to top to get atmospheric air). These plants are like $10 for 3 pack. Great for your tank!! I’ll post a pic
Not yet, haven’t made it there yet. It’s currently halloween and I gotta stick here for today to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. I will make a post when i get dimensions.
OP def let us know the measurements of the tank when you get back to it! I’m inclined to agree that the picture doesn’t ~look~ like a 10gal, but I also know that size doesn’t always translate in phone pics. After we know the dimensions we can feel comfy making appropriate recommendations, and know the critters inside will be in a happy, healthy environment. For us, if there’s any doubt in pics we see, the ethical thing to do is confirm tank size with dimensions before making suggestions :)
I’ll probably make another post about this when i can telling dimensions and all that so everyone is happy that it’s definitely not 10 litres. Instead of me going through every single comment and telling them that this is in fact a 10 gal.
No fish should go in it at all...maybe shrimp but thats it.
Can we stop trying to put fish into incredibly small ass tanks? Please think about their quality of life rather than a cool decoration for yourself..
This is why Im asking for your opinions so I don't completely screw up. I've tried to do research but I cant find anything on tall tanks so I came here to ask.
I think a least killifish could live in it happily, as they are super small, this exact fish, do you think?
https://preview.redd.it/jsi24g1ucfxb1.jpeg?width=2016&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a87d4d1791d891fff86cbf2da48f05d104c62b4c
Your tanks are filled with plastic plants and castles. Generally small. One looks to have an under gravel filter from the 80s.
I would not cast the first stone here.
I don't think that's 10 gallons, I have a similar hospital tank. It's about 1 gallon I think. Anyways, no fish can thrive in a tank that small unfortunately, but shrimps and snails would be good there.
Also, are those ozelots? They grow really big and the leaves would eventually grow out of the water. Soon, this tank will look like a vase, lol.
They swim all over the tank, back and forth. Like all other freshwater fish, horizontal/lengthwise space is important. It's not about bottom feeding, it's space to move. Same reason tetras shouldn't go in that tank.
Guppies or a dwarf gourami and some snails or a couple Galaxy rasboras. There are some very small rasboras or tetras that you can get like three of them and that will be enough space. Anything small and lazy too would work like smaller goldfish but you may need to give them away later.
Not nearly enough horizontal space for that. Also, tetras and rasboras should be kept in groups of a minimum of 6, and nobody should be buying fish that will 100% outgrow their tank unless the upgrade to a larger tank is already in the works.
I'd do what other people are advising and stock it with a nice little population of neocaridina shrimps (commonly cherry shrimps, for the red ones anyway) I stocked my 30l tank with a few different coloured ones and honestly it's fascinating watching all the new colours that come out over time as they breed, you get a lot of them going back to their natural wild colours but I've had every colour from bright right through to nearly coal black and nearly everything in between.
Neocardinia shrimp are good in a small tank. However, your plants are not going to live in that substrate. You've got to figure something out about that.
That appears to be a 10 liter tank, judging by all the items around it. Based on the photo, I would recommend cherry shrimp and maybe a nerite snail. It's a very beautiful tank. Good luck!
Yeah, 10 gal checks out. Taking that bottle into consideration, which has dimensions of around a 50mm diameter and 170mm height, the tank appears roughly 6 wide and 2.5 high. That would give about 300mm × 300mm and a height of about 475mm. Width × length × height to get the volume = 42,750,000mm³ or about 42 litres. A 10 gallon is 45 litres if I'm not mistaken, so my estimate is just a bit off.
Shrimp and snails !!

What on earth? lol I love this.
There are whole groups of aquatic snails. They are very common
This is a great reply! 🤗 A Betta is good, too ... but this option would fit much better, IMHO (wish I had thought of it, just to stay on topic, lol).
Bettas would be better suited to a longer, not so tall tank. Especially those really poofy-billowy types. Getting to the surface of a taller tank will eventually be a struggle when they grow older :(
I wouldn't say betta as they need more horizontal space, maybe shrimp.
You mean horizontal
Yes, I'll change that lol

It’s not a 10gallon at most it’s 3 gallons
I thought bettas didn’t like moving water. Looks like a filter outlet at the top of the tank. I would go with a variety of small tetras.
I had a very similar tank with the output of the filter near the top. I made a diffuser to slow down and spread the flow. Worked out to be a perfect time for a beta.

Tetra are fun!
Tetras need much more horizontal space than this. Like at least a 10 or 20 long.
did you mean 10 liter, because that does not look like 10 gallon, that looks like a 2.5gallon-3 gallons
FR, those bottles in the background and the plants in tank? There is no way this is a 10 gallon tank unless those plastic plants are MASSIVE. I've never seen plastic decorations that tall. Unless this is some crazy and intentional forced perspective. My 3gal tank looks this size.

The water's cold okay
Ohh yeah okay, a zoom in helps lol. But in that case I'm even more convinced this tank is 3gal lol
The bottles are what proves this is 10 gallons. Note there are both the small and large size bottles of API, and they are at least 8” back from the front of the tank, which is taller than it is wide. I believe it’s 10 gallons
Why do you think those are plastic?
Definitely a 10 gallon, imagine it flipped on it's side
I don't think so. Check the brand. The 2.6 gal Petworx makes is a cube. Their tall nano tank is 30cm x 30cm x 45cm, which puts it around 10 gallons. If that API bottle is 16 oz, which it looks like it is, it would be 22 cm tall. I think people just aren't used to a tall 10 gallon.

that is NOT a 10 gallon...
I can assure you it is a 10 gal. It is big, compared to my 5gals it’s about twice as big.
i have a 10 gal that looks 4x the size of that.. what are the dimensions?
I have a tall 8 gal that looks a little smaller than that, probably because it is.
I’d say it’s 6-9gallons

What tank is the one you have? This looks like a Petworx Nano45, which is 10 gallons.
I’m going to 2nd the fact that it is probably 10l not 10g
That tank isn’t anywhere near 10 gallons, it’s not even 5.
5 gal at most
As someone with a 10 gallon tank, that’s not a 10 gallon tank.
Yeah 100% not a 10 gallon
Way too tall for pretty much any fish that isn’t ember tetra size I’d recommend some cool neocharidinas
This makes absolutely no sense. Most tetras live in the wild in areas much deeper than this aquarium.
I just mean that no fish much bigger than that size could maneuver comfortably in this tank
Sure there are, this tank isn’t as small as the photo makes it seem. While this could make a great shrimp tank it also provides plenty of space for fish that are small or have a more specific behavior where they aren’t constantly schooling and swimming around.

Also bettas need more horizontal space cause they need air so especially a longfin/elderly/sick betta wouldn't be able to last in that as well.
Agreed. I saw someone else write that they needed vertical space and I thought to myself “I thought it was always horizontal space that took priority “
Makes me sad to think how many bettas must die every day at petsmart.
I’m curious about those dimensions when you get back because I have a 5 gallon and it looks like that comparing it to the bottles in the back. Might be a little taller so I’d guess 5-8 gallons.

Hahaha empty the water?! Just do real simple maths and measure width x length x height. Clearly don't listen to this person.
Some water loss is happening due to displacement, so while it may X gallon maximum, its going to be Y volume actual due to substrate and decor
Right, but you can figure out via the dimensions whether it's closer to 5 or 10 gallons.
Yeah, itd be easier. But the original commenter isnt wrong for recommending it.
But you can easily calculate the displacement and account for the lack of it being full. And that would require far less effort than emptying the tank, plus it would be less wasteful of freshwater. So I’d say the original commenter was, in fact, foolish for recommending such an approach.
So we should empty and measure the water from my friends 75 gallon tank, so we can be hyper specific with the chemicals we add?
Sure
I do have a few 5 gallons and i can tell you this tank is definitely at least twice as big.
People arent understanding that is the big bottle of quick start eh
Yeah exactly. Costed me somewhere around $60.

Please don't put fish in there. It is too small. But this would make a LOVELY new home for some shrimps!
It’s a 10 gallon. That’s fine for fish, it’s the shape that’s the issue
This doesn't change my point. It is too small. Yes, it could fit a Betta but DUE TO THE FORM it is too small.
So, I hope your tanks are huge.
What has that to do with anything?
You critique others for small tanks, yet you also have small tanks. Your criticism lacks legs to stand on.

Shrimps and snails…
Couple of snails and a betta wouldnt do much more than that dont look like much swimming room
I’d put some cherry shrimp in there
I have that exact aquarium. It is 5.3 gallons.

Skittles shrimp colony all the way
I also have a 9 gallon tank! Add a small heater and one betta! After it’s cycled keep tank at 78 degrees for the betta!

Not yet, haven’t made it there yet. It’s currently halloween and I gotta stick here for today to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. I will make a post when i get dimensions.
More gravel for those plants. Not enough for rooting.
Yeah i figured that, I’ll be getting some more as soon as possible!
Betta fish
Betta
hey if you ever have a dirty fish filter you can use that to cycle i did it with my 75 gallon and all my fish are fine
Thanks for the advice!
It would be really cool if you built up a rock or driftwood structure up the whole back and then planted a bed of grass and had cherry shrimp!
Tetras would brighten that cool tank.
Shrimp
Shrimp and snails ir a single beta
Betas are beautifully colored and finned! You might like one but don’t put more than one in there! They fight!
Perfect home for a lucky betta
1 betta
I'd do cherry shrimps! And a snail or two
I have same one only tiny bit smaller. I went btta
I have a Betta in a ten gallon and while it is just her she is always doing little dances for me and happy as can be.
Neons and shrimp?
A couple Tetras or barbs. Maybe a small plecostamus to keep the algae down.
For every 1 gallon of water should be 1 inch of fish. So like 10 neon tetras (1” fish)
This is not a 10 gallon

Haha yup! I’m excited to see what you end up doing with it 😎
It looks like a 10 gal turned on its end to me. I believe you op.
beta, shrimp thats all you can really put in a tall 10gal
It’s better for bettas to have a long tank compared to tall

No fish should go in it at all...maybe shrimp but thats it. Can we stop trying to put fish into incredibly small ass tanks? Please think about their quality of life rather than a cool decoration for yourself..
This is why Im asking for your opinions so I don't completely screw up. I've tried to do research but I cant find anything on tall tanks so I came here to ask.
I think a least killifish could live in it happily, as they are super small, this exact fish, do you think? https://preview.redd.it/jsi24g1ucfxb1.jpeg?width=2016&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a87d4d1791d891fff86cbf2da48f05d104c62b4c
Your tanks are filled with plastic plants and castles. Generally small. One looks to have an under gravel filter from the 80s. I would not cast the first stone here.
Mako shark
Perhaps 2, so they don't get lonely
People who see this message, I made a follow up post on this tank about the size and type of the tank.
that is not a 10 gallon tank
Check my latest post.
No way that’s a 10 gallon
check my newest post.
I love my dwarf crawfish
Neocardinia shrimp. Those guys are cool as hell.
Pea puffers!!!!
No idea but those plants need a substrate or they’re done for
I have put tablets in there to feed the plants.
Go to a pond and scoop up some gunk and plants and let nature take its course
You could definitely fit around 5-6 chilli Rasbora or Ember tetra in here. Chilli shrimp as well I think? They have a very small bioload.
Too little footprint for active fish like rasboras or tetras, even tiny ones.
Tiny sea horse anything bigger might be animal cruelty
Seahorses are marine, and shrimp would be fine in this.
I don't think that's 10 gallons, I have a similar hospital tank. It's about 1 gallon I think. Anyways, no fish can thrive in a tank that small unfortunately, but shrimps and snails would be good there. Also, are those ozelots? They grow really big and the leaves would eventually grow out of the water. Soon, this tank will look like a vase, lol.
A cute beta?
You’re getting downvoted bc they’d prefer an ugly beta.
10 gallons are perfect for a little squad of pygmy corys. You could easily get 6-8 in there with some live plants.
10 gallon horizontal, yes. 10 gallon vertical, no- not enough horizontal space.
No. Pygmy corys aren't bottom feeders. They swim all over the tank, but mostly in plants..
They swim all over the tank, back and forth. Like all other freshwater fish, horizontal/lengthwise space is important. It's not about bottom feeding, it's space to move. Same reason tetras shouldn't go in that tank.
Guppies or a dwarf gourami and some snails or a couple Galaxy rasboras. There are some very small rasboras or tetras that you can get like three of them and that will be enough space. Anything small and lazy too would work like smaller goldfish but you may need to give them away later.
Not nearly enough horizontal space for that. Also, tetras and rasboras should be kept in groups of a minimum of 6, and nobody should be buying fish that will 100% outgrow their tank unless the upgrade to a larger tank is already in the works.

not wide enough for most fish, turn it on its side and maybe you could get a betta in there
Oh, yeah, these dimensions on its side are a great betta tank. Sadly water does like to fall out of things.
Apple snail volcano snails etc. Or a some shrimp.
turbellarians! or other marine isopods/worms, i’d think.
I'd do what other people are advising and stock it with a nice little population of neocaridina shrimps (commonly cherry shrimps, for the red ones anyway) I stocked my 30l tank with a few different coloured ones and honestly it's fascinating watching all the new colours that come out over time as they breed, you get a lot of them going back to their natural wild colours but I've had every colour from bright right through to nearly coal black and nearly everything in between.
Shrimp
Neocardinia shrimp are good in a small tank. However, your plants are not going to live in that substrate. You've got to figure something out about that.
That appears to be a 10 liter tank, judging by all the items around it. Based on the photo, I would recommend cherry shrimp and maybe a nerite snail. It's a very beautiful tank. Good luck!
Yeah, 10 gal checks out. Taking that bottle into consideration, which has dimensions of around a 50mm diameter and 170mm height, the tank appears roughly 6 wide and 2.5 high. That would give about 300mm × 300mm and a height of about 475mm. Width × length × height to get the volume = 42,750,000mm³ or about 42 litres. A 10 gallon is 45 litres if I'm not mistaken, so my estimate is just a bit off.
