Cories?

[iZinedane]

Can i keep pygmy Cories in a 15g with 7 Glofish and 5 red tux guppies?
if so..how many?

Thanks! :22:

IMO you could do 5 of these little fish. Only reason the Danois would help to eat the Guppy fry, that is if you have males with females.

Make sure to have sand as a substrate. IT dose their barbels good to have sand.

Thanks for the fast reply mac! :22:
what kind of sand?

[mac]

Just fine river sand. Like Beach sand. But aquarium grade. IMO and IME avoid getting marine sand.

just a bump to see if more people will have good advice on this

A finer gravel will do fine, but sand is best. You can always switch it out later. I think you can still do 5.

as far as sand goes...
i know that people commonly use play sand or pool filter sand.
both can be found cheap at home deopt. play sand needs to be cleaned more and can sometimes have more irregular sized particles and some people have had some issues with it doing damage to their filters.
pool filter sand is a silica based sand that comes in more uniform particles. it is often recommended over play sand.
