Angelfish is a bit of a confusing term. There are freshwater angelfish and saltwater angelfish. Neither species would do well in a 10 gallon.

I dont think there is much to do... I've read that some balloon mollies are very prone to complications because of their odd shape though. I wish you guys luck.

both;
Fresh water


salt water


but as indigo stated neither can go in a 10G, for freshwater angelfish they need a tank with a hight of atleast 15inches as they are tall fish and their fins wont form properly/ they will be stunted in a smaller tank

Thanks :3 I am planning to move her in a few weeks when she is about to explode of fatness so she doesn't stress and abort the pregnancy. I will keep her in a smaller, well planted tank so when the babies are born she won't eat them. Then when I'm sure she's done I will move her back. I hope it works out!

Any suggestions for what to put in my tank after I set it up and cycle it?
3-4 female betta
or
10 neon tetra (less if your adding bottom feeders but shouldn't be kept in a group smaller then 6-7)
or
1 male betta (or put a divider in for 2 males with 5G each)
or
5 mollies
or
7 guppies
glass/cherry shrimp (the cherry shrimp can go in as bottom feeders for any of the above, though the betta may try to eat them)
3-4 cory cat fish could also be used as bottom feeders
