I have a ten gallon tank and i want to put 2 bronze corys, 4 glofish, 2 female guppies, and two CiIclid fish. would they get along? would i have any problems? where could i get them? best answer and detail gets 10 points! thnx 4 the help
what to i do to cycle? how do i cycle? what would i put in first..the glofish? help!
but could you guys simplify it as much as possible, because i dont get the technical stuff...
 
dont get the cichlids, most are very territorial and agressive, there are a few species (like kribensis) that are ok in a community tank but can show agressiveness and shouldnt be in a 10 gallon, the rest would be fine. If you need to know how to cycle, I'll give you a couple links. If you're going to cycle with fish the glofish (danios) would be the best to start out with, guppies and cories are very hardy as well and they can survive the cycle but you just dont want to add them all at once.

No cichlids in that community- they would likely nip everything else to death or swallow it whole eventually.

OAdd a couple more guppies or glow fish instead as they prefer larger shoals than you have listed. Other than that it sounds fine. You could get them at any pet store.

Please research the cycling process before getting these if you are new to fish keeping- it will save you $, hassle, mess, and grief.

EDIT: It is called the Nitrogen cycle. You see, fish poop in the water and if it were not for the nitrogen cycle, this fish waste bould build and build until the tank was not much more than fish and their sewage. Luckily, beneficial bacteria will slowly colonize your tank and digest the waste (ammonia and nitrite) into less harmful nitrate. If you have plants, it will help get rid of the nitrate, but it is manageable without them. Cycling- refers to building our colony of bacteria so that the cycle is begun and regulated.

I would start with the guppies, just 2-3 and add a few more fish in a few weeks until you have your community complete.
