have a 10 gallon tank with 5 glofish tetras and 5 glofish danios. I was wondering if a few shrimp or snails would be a good addition to my tank

Of course they would! Especially from this company. They will help keep the tank clean and make it much more interesting.

I would say these fish would be great tank mates. As long as they are not aggressive or bottom dwellers. The Shrimp like to hang out on the bottom. I would suggest if you don't have many plants that you also purchase some of the java moss for them to hide in and play between. We love trying to find them in our tank as they hide underneath the moss.

Yes you can. I used this to treat Ich myself in fish/shrimp tank. I would not do a shrimp/fish tank in the future. Goldfish are really messy and need 40 gallons for each fish and grow 14 inches, they will also eat anything that fits in their mouth. Your cherry shrimp are going to be snacks.

This gravel vacuum is great for a 10 gallon tank. my tank is much smaller and I stir up the rocks to pick up the fish poop.

Frankly, with a 10G tank you should just be doing weekly water changes of at least 25-30%. You can't really "let things go" with a tank that size and it's unlikely that you would have ammonia spikes with such frequent water changes. I have a little 5.5 gallon with a couple of albino cory cats and I use a test strip every once in a blue moon, but the water is always fine because I do weekly changes. Am looking at this kit for my 125 gallon tank, but would bother for a tiny tank.

I agree with Philip - way too small of a tank! Those Angel Fish and that pleco are going to get REALLY big. Move them up to a big tank and enjoy the shrimp in the 10 gallon alone or with a few small, peaceful fish.

The only invertebrates I have in my tank are ramshorn, pond and other snails. They r all ok.

One fish, a betta is the best choice. It's too small for more, even if small. Most small fish are schooling species and should be in groups too numerous for a three gallon tank and are also fast moving and reactive. A few (maybe 3) male guppies are possible, females get larger and are forever reproducing. Lack of enough nutrients for the plants is unlikely to be a problem, usually the opposite occurs resulting in algae or water quality issues.

We have put several kinds in the tank. We found by putting only 1 fish in is the best.

If you have a pond snail problem these guys would take care of it. However if algae and cleaning the tank of leftover food and waste is the goal these probably aren't the right choice. These guys will breed as well, although fairly slowly. Nerite snails might be a better choice and they come in a lot of pretty colors

I use these for my breeder tanks 20 gal. it just provides enough beneficial bactiria for two 6 inch fish for couple of day as they require frequent water changes so i think (NO)

I don't know. But I woudn't keep anything in a tank that small. Maybe a few Ghost shrimp, that's about it.

I use to have Tanks from 5 gallons to 55 gallons mostly fish but one of the larger tanks I had a red eared turtle. If I still had those tanks, yes I think this would be Ideal to clean them also.

I haven't tried the shrimp with them yet but from what I have read they should be ok. I tried guppies and it didn't work. The guppies died but I don't honestly know if it was the crayfish. Guppies do spend time at the bottom of the tank which is where the crayfish are. I am going to try tetras which seem to be the fish most people recommend with the dwarf crayfish.

Three gallons is not too small. These are small snails and are doing well in my desktops. I don't know anything about goldfish since I have bettas. Good luck!

I have had 4 fancy guppies in one of my tanks for several months and they seem to be doing great. They are much more active than my bettas, chasing each other around the tank. If you want more than one or two fish in the tank I don't think any fish bigger than fancy guppies would do well.

I have the shrimps for almost a year now, they are still healthy and living. I feed them spirulina powder from vitamin world once a week or two. They seem to like it a lot.
