We got a "deluxe" 10 gallon tropical setup for my daughter...heater, light, filter, all the necessities. The girl at the pet store was insistent we start off with 2 gold mollies, so despite my desire for guppies or glofish instead, I got the mollies because the girl was really irritating me. Anyway. Next we would like to get some of both previously mentioned...would the 2 mollies, 3 or so glofish, 2 guppies, and a blue gourami be appropriate given the size of the tank? Frequent water changes in order to satisfy the cleanliness needs of such a tank would not be a problem, provided they weren't ridiculous, and I could also get some kind of better filter if necessary. Is the lineup above reasonable, and if not, what alterations would I need to make? I am going 1 species at a time, and spacing out adding fish by like a month or so.
Also, I had this tank "cycling" for a week prior to adding the fish, and it's still slightly hazy, although not as bad as it was, and there are bubble islands forming on top, which one of the mollies seems to enjoy sucking in and spitting out. Is this alright?
Finally, one of the mollies, which, according to my research is a "sailfin molly" (the other one seems to not be a sailfin, rather is a short-fin), likes to just hang on the bottom and not do much except look sketchy and dart around occasionally. Is this a sign of anything? Thanks in advance for the help!
