Thanks, the peppermint bristle nose species that I have is smaller than others and the aquarium (they breed them) said that it would be ok in a 10 gallon...The reason I don't want cardinals or rummy-nose is because I have a school or cardinals at the moment and I used to have some rummy-nose so I ...

Would I be able to have:

1 PBN
3 otos-add 1 more
5 ember tetras-they only grow to 2cm
2 blue rams

Would this be too many fish?

Adding a group of corys would be fine, definitley not overstocking the tank, as most don't grow to more than 5cm. Any corys except maybe bronze and peppered would be ok, because they grow bigger than others.

I have a 10 gallon/40 litre heavily planted tank. At the moment it has:

1 Peppermint Bristlenose
2 Otocinclus Catfish

Filter: Eheim Aquaball
Maintenance: fortnightly 30% water changes

I want to add some more fish, and I have 3 options to choose from:

1) At the aquarium they have a pair of ...

Both the corys (Pandas and Schwartzis) are now swimming a lot more, including swimming up to the middle and up and down the sides of the tank, and looking for food. (I gave them a Sera tablet, and the gouramis helped them eat it. They still haven't swam to the surface but in the tank the Schwartzis ...

I went 2 days ago (25/2/05) to by my 3 tiny 2cm Panda corys that I had reserved. (the tank was not ready for them) then I saw Schwartzi corys, and I fell in love with them. They were also on special and there was 5. So I decided to get 3 and they are now happy in my 126 litre (the pandas are in my ...

i don't want apistos or any type of cichlid. I know bristle nsoe hget to 15cm but at the moment mine are only 5cm. i will move them if they get a problem.

I am thinking of restocking my 10 gallon tank when my fish die. (They are live bearers so they will not live very long.) I am thinking of:
2 bristle nose catfish (5cm)
6 black neons
1 Betta (Siamese fighting fish)
Will this be ok? I have an AquaClear 150 and an air pump running on it.

Thanks so much!

I read them both. I have 2 bristle nose at the moment so I know about them. Are the Peppermints the same care as them? the water is going to be Ph:6.4 and GH:6 KH:2-3 will this be ok for them? I am going to have tetras and I want the tank soft and acidic.

Yes it is the ancistrus type.

I have decided ot get a peppermint catfish for my 126 litre tank. I don't know anything about them. I think it is the Parancistrus spp. Tehy are black with white spots and white edgeing on their dorsal and caudal(tail) fin. Tell me evrythning I need to know about them!

Thanks!

That's a bristle nose.

Thanks! thye will be in a tank with:
2 lace gouramis
1 ockatoo dwarf cichlid
6 panda corys(I am having 6)
7 rummy nose tetras
9 cardinal tetras
Would this be ok?

In my 126 litre I will be getting 6 panda corys. I have never kept corys before so I do not know much about them. I have 2mm earth coloured gravel, lots of bogwood and plants. I will be feeding them a mixture of flakes and algae flakes, hikari shrimp pellets and algae wafers, frozen nad maybe live ...
