    Bristlenose plecos don't get big. In fact I've got one in a 5 gallon betta tank and he does an awesome job. Normal plecos are the ones that get huge

    i jumped right into saltwater so putting this many fish in a 10 gal goes against everything ive been taught. but you all know more than i do. i like the stock list tharsis has. i think ill go with that one.

    thanks,

    haha, i know it seems counter intuitive, but it will work out nicely. I would just make sure you have lots of plants in there to soak up the nitrates/phosphates.

    I don't know much about the frogs but everything else you have has a very small bioload. Your corys will be the biggest fish in the tank.
