THANK YOU! The tank is 75 gallons and right now nothing is in it. It has a sand bottom that is two inches deep(I know its a BIT deep) and a bunch of silk plants(and some plastic). 'm hopping to add 2 green severums, 1 redtail prochilodus, 1 pink tailed chacleus, and the school of 12 cories. I might ...

I believe that the species is Aeneus(sp?)

anyway.....is 12 a good sized school....should it be less.....more?

Thanks!

idk jw. so the similar thing only has to do with color and pattern and body type? wow I thought it was all internal. lol. thanks!

they'll get eaten? oh. don't want that. I was just readin a post on here that said

corydoras that are simialar will school together

what other cories are similar enough to school with c.sterbai? thanks!

sry 1 more Q. can I put the cories with a BABY senegal bichir or even an adult? Thanks!

Do you think I should start with 6 or 8? Thanks! 1 more question. can they go with pictus cats?

ok so um:
1. the substrate that I am using in gravel only one step above sand.

2. I have a bubbler in the tank.

3. amonia hasn't been spiking for the past two months

4. 3ppm nitrate

so how many thanks?

how many sterbai cories can I put in my 55 gallon tank? (no other inhabitants). Thanks!

I have a 55 gallon fish tank (I can't bear to see it empty!). what cats do you think would be good in it? I really like pim pictus and sterbai cories. Anything along those lines cept other cories. Suggestions please! thanks.

Ok um other occupants are a blue acara a parrot and a convict. They eat ALL the food I put in but a cichlid is a messy eater. All cichlids are.

for what? Like boat, tent, net, tree, etc.........

Sorry I forgot to mention all those key parts but now they are there.

Question # one: Which SCHOOLING catfish do you think is the best scavenger? Question # two: Which NON-SCHOOLING catfish do you think is the best scavenger? Thanks! :D EDIT Scavenger = clean up on bottom Tank size = 55 U.S. gallons Other Occupants = S.A. CICHLIDS Algae Control = school of five ...

Do otos eat algae there whole life or will they stop eating it eventually? Thanks!

so I can keep him with the cories? Thanks! what about dojo loaches?

So I could
What did you think a tiger botia was?

anyone?

sry or he might be Schistura poculi

The red tailed tiger botia is Schistura mahnertiIf that changes anything let me know. Thanks!

Personally I would try to avoid keeping any of the more agressive tiger loaches (Botia hymenophysa, B. beauforti, B. berdmorei) with small corydoras. They can be mixed, but in my experience at feeding time these sort of loaches will always out-compete corys and push them around. Nothing really life ...

anyone at all?

I started with 5 rt tiger botias the one that is left killed all the other ones.

Ok so here is the new list.

5-6 Corydoras sterbai
2 (pair) Bristlenoses
1 RT tiger botia
1 Synodontis(BIG maybe) of some sort
and a Pictus cat








I still need more answers, Thnaks!

2-3 Corydoras panda
1 (male) bristlenose pl*co
2-3 corydoras sterbai (SP?)
2 clown loaches (MAYBE BIG MAYBE)
and 1 red tailed tiger botia

I still need advise. Thanks!

Don't put them with anything that has barbs or spines as a defence because they will try to eat it and the ceaceelium (sp?)and/or the fish will die.
