Thread: tank mates

  1. Default tank mates

    hey im new to this forum and wanted to ask about some other fish that would make a nice addition to my aquarium;if any one has ideas please tell.
    3x zerbra danios
    6x neon tetras
    2x dwarf neon gouramis
    3 albino cories
    2x upsidedown catfish

    Im getting a bristle nose pleco in a few weeks

    almost forgot i have a 29 gal ph:7-7.5 temp:76 right now all my fish are about half there adult size

  2. Default

    The only question I have is--Don't cory cats need more? I thought I was reading somewhere that they like to be together in larger groups.

  3. Default

    Way too full now.Are the upside down catfish the four inch full sized ones or the often mislabeled other syno catfish.(which grow to large for a 29 gallon)

    Not only do corys prefer groups, but so do danios. How do you know your fish are all half their adult size? I think if you get the pleco, you will be really overdoing it.
    46 gal fw tank with black skirt tetras, neon tetras, spotted cory catfish, cherry barbs, guppies, snails & 4 amano shrimp - plastic & live plants
    5 gal QT with green corys & 2 guppies

    No reason to have 6-7 species of fish in a small tank like that and no need to have 3 kinds of bottom feeders.......corys, featherfins and BN.

    I would fill out your schools of danio's and call it done. You have enough in the tank already.

    You'd really be better off swapping out the upside-down cats for a couple more Cory's. Both are schooling species, best kept in groups of 5 or more, and a 29 really isn't big enough for a group of upside-down catfish.
    Not to mention that they're nocturnal, and given suitable cover (they'd be badly stressed w/out it) aren't usually very visible like Cory cats.

    ^^^^Please click the eggs/dragons, thanks.

    I got rid of the cories Today

    you didn't have to get rid of the cories. about your question, i think a male betta would look really good in a tank like that. or if you wanted, you could get a group of females bettas

    I think a betta would be beat down in that tank... Not a good addition imo.
