    Well today I found my black sailfin Molly upside down, covered in a white fuzz in his qt box. I actually thought he was going to pull through for a week or two there.

    On the bright side, this gives me 4" more of fish to out in! Suggestions for a 10 g stocked with...
    1 dalmation Molly
    7 tetras
    2 guppies
    3 kuhlis
    3 glass cats
    1 pit bull pleco

    Levels are great... Thanks!

    For 10 g that is really stocked to the max, BTW what is a pit bull pleco? Can you post a pic, sounds like it would go nice with a piranha.

    I really don't think you have 4" to work with. I honestly think you are overstocked the way it is. Some of the fish you have in there are over 1" anyways. You should have no more then a total of 10" of fish in there for proper swimming room. That is general rule of thumb kind of stuff though. If you are over filtering and watching your feedings, then you are probably all right with what you have in there now.
