20 gallon:
Aqua-clear 200
1 Long-fin zebra danio(4")
2 Short-fin zebra danios(1.5" each)

1 Mickey-mouse platy(1 female)(3")
1 Dwarf Pleco(2")
1 Zebra Otto(1")
2 Platy Fry(1/2â?

It may LOOK like plenty of room, but the amount of water in a 10 gallon tank isn't going to be able to support a large enough bacteria colony in that tank to keep more fish healthy. With the fish you already have, you'll want to do frequent water changes of 30% or so to keep the parameters stable, IMO.

the instuctions book says its 10 gallon but the tank is 30"lx14"hx12"d which is 20 gallons!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i never reilized why actual 10 gallons seemed so small and this is why!!!!!!!
