One more question. Could I feed them spirulina flakes and frozen bloodworms for there whole diet?

Thanks for the info and help.

I have 3 Peppered Cory Cats in a mini-bow 5 tank. Will an African Dwarf Frog be okay with these?

Okay then, yeah with this tank I just wanted all cory cats but a few different kinds. I thought it best I kept at least 3 of each though

It's my understanding that the most cory cats school together. SO you can mix different kinds. I moved the GloFish BTW

Okay, if I didn't have the GloFish though could I do it?

I would like to know if I could keep 3 albino(bronze) Cory Cats and 3 Peppered Cory Cats in a 10 gallon or if that's to many Cory Cats? The water tests fine and what I have in there now is

6 GloFish
3 Albino Cory Cats
Albino Dwarf Frog(Going to be moved soon)

I'd try to keep more than two Oto's too - they are another schooling fish that needs it's friends around to be happy. More is better...

How many would you recommend?

Corydoras leucomelas That would be the "blackfin cory" I have in the 10 gallon: 1 Male Flame Dwarf Gourami 4 Glofish Now I was thinking of getting leopard cory catfish for this tank, would 3 be okay? I was also going to add 2 Otocinclus for algae cleanup Mod Edit: Changed URL into persistant clog ...

I can get blackfin, panda, leopard, bronze, peppered and albino. I also have a question for a 10 gallon I'm setting up. I'd like some cory catfish in this tank. It currently hold four glofish and a flame dwarf gourami. What corries would be good and how many?

Would a pair of albino's work? I can't really get anything smaller other than panda's and I've read they are week. I have 4 glofish in the tank and it has 10 gallon filtration. I really would like a bottom feeder and scavenger

I have a question regarding minimum number of cory's to a tank. I've read everything from 1-12. It seams to me that the size of the tank would be how you would figure how many would be the minimum. Something like a small 5 gallon may only be able to hold two corries but in a 10 gallon two wouldn't ...

I feed my corydoras Hikari sinking wafers and TetraMin tropicla tablets. Also, I occasionally feed them Hikari frozen bloodworms (they go crazy for those!). hope this helps

THanks, should I give them some time to get used to the tank? Could that be why they're not eating?

Okay what specifically should I feed them. I live in Michigan so any input from people who live in the US would help. I've had these fish in the tank a few days and they don't seam to be eating

Thanks for the input

Can I put 3 leopard cory catfish in a mini-bow 5? I have a 10 gallon in tank filter for the tank and a heater.

Thanks for the help so far. I can't get any smaller gourami other than dwarf and I'm going with one male of the regular varity. It's my understanding that mystery snails only get 6cm in most cases but I am reading up on them before I get one.

What about mystery snails? I've heard good things about them. Also The betta was given to my nephew today, his died and I felt bad. I'm thinking dwarf gourami and the corries. No problem there?

Also when I bought one of my albino corries he was missing 1 of 4 barbels. Will it grow back?

I'm sorry for snapping at you people. I'm having a hard time with school right now. Anyways. I have small smooth gravel and medium planted with a fake rock cave and plenty of open space to roam in my 10 gallon. It has a male betta and 3 albino corries. How many more could I add with the fish being ...

I must have missed the point when I said those were my fish. First of all I said I only had two corries and there's 4 between those to pics and second sue me

Trout, I'm not trying to play moderator, but a couple of things come to mind. 1. It was confusing when you posted those pictures. I am certain everyone reading this thread assumed they were photos of your fish. As well, the gravel size and texture received comments, and it was not even gravel from ...

Looking at the pictures I have two issues, the first is that in the top picture the fish looks to be a C. paleatus male and the fish in the bottom picture look to be female C. aeneus. If they are as I suspect then they are very unlikely to breed, in fact it would not be at all desirable. The other ...

I decided agesnt keeping them in the 5 gallon and went with a 10 gallon. It's fine gravel bottom and fake plants and a lot of them and they share the tank with a albino shark and paradise fish which will get a new tank as soon as I'm done cyling it

Well I hate to take apart the tank to get a smaller size. I honestly couldn't find any better than what I got. I intened to fead them tetra colorbites rather than flake so would that be okay the way I've set up and be good for them?

The gravel is about this size http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/2613/albcory12jc.jpg http://img347.imageshack.us/img347/5534/albcory23ya.jpg It's smooth and the best I could find. I can't use sand because I have an intank power filter. There's a area of the tank set up with some small bushy plants ...

Okay then I have natural river gravel and some hiding spots from plants and lots of open swimming room. Does this sound like a good set up for a few albino corydoras catfish? It's a 5 gallon long tank BTW

Is spectra stone a good substrat? Also what would be the best way to set up the tank decor? Would it be okay if I just put a row of hygropilla in the back kinda bush and that's it or should I add a cave? It's my understanding they like open swimming room rather than a crowded tank

Let me just ask this one question. How sensitive are they're barbels? I mean I have a gravel substrate with fake plants and a rock cave. Now the cave isn't smooth but it isn't really sharp either, it feels like rock. Is this fine for them? It's kind of like this http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6931 ...

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it
