I want to add fish to my cycling tank but I don't know what kind to get.
Here are the things I am looking for:
How many I can put in it
The color
The life span of the fish
And how easy they are to care for.
Here are some questions that I have for the fish I am thinking of.
How long doe's a zebra danio live?
How many redtail sharks can you fit in a size ten tank?
 
angel fish are a good start if you are new to fish keeping .zebra dianos live for about 1 year if you look after them well. i wouldn't put loads of redtail sharks (ruby shark) in the same tank they may fite but 2 should be fine.
 
Don't put any fish in the tank while it's cycling. Wait till the tank is done cycling. There are several reasons to not add a fish while cycling a tank.
1.Depends on what kind of fish you're getting.
2.Depends on what kind of fish you're getting.
3.No fish is easy to care for.
4.Zebra danios can live for up to 5 years.
5.None. Red tailed sharks can';t go in a 10 gallon, as they get over 6 inches long. If you're planning to get some sort of bottom feeder, stick with cherry shrimp or something.
I suggest you get 3 male platys, 5 zebra danios, and a few cherry shrimp. That's just my opinion though.
It sounds like you need to do WAY more research if you think a red-tailed shark can go in a 10 gallon.
Corys need a group of at least 6, & the min tank size is 20 gallons. Somebody I know has a 25 year old cory.
 
This is what I have(:

1 halfmoon male betta fish.
He is blue, but they come in variety such as reds, pinks, whites, greens. Bettas live about three years, but since you have a filtered ten gallon, then he will probably live for five. They are really easy to care for, just feed and do weekly water changes.

3 cory catfish.
They come in many colrs, but I would suggest 3 panda corys. They are a white/tan and have little black masks as well as black tails. They are small and pudgy! Supe cute:P They live around five years I think, maybe a bit more, easy care, they actually pick up scraps on the bottom of the tank to make it eaiser for you. Nighty you need to add half an algae wafer for them.

2 ghost shrimp
They are clear actualy but really cool! They make no bioload, and they clean the tank as well. Tjhey clean up aftert the corrys, and it makes for an awsome additon. They only live around a year or so, because they are meant as food for oscars and fishes, however they grow to be an inch and a half, and are fun to watch! They don't reuire any specail care.. not even food!
