After disasters....What fish next?

[beginner-stressing]

If i take the clown loaches back what botton feeder does everybody recommend? With such a small tank I dont want something that will outgrow right away?

With a small tank, Cories are always a good option. Most species only get to around 3-4 inches. If you're going for them, I recommed getting a group of at least three since they like to hang out together, and in my experience, they really appreicate a cave or something for chilling out during bright hours.

Thanks for the advice, I think I will take the loaches back and invest in some corries....

Cory cats are good bottom feeders. There are several varieties but I don't think any of them get over 3 inches. I've had several different kinds over the years and have found them to be fairly hardy except for panda corys. Word of caution, aquarium salt will burn them so don't use any. Also, when medicating, I believe you have to use only 1/2 the normal dose. Would anybody else agree with that? Good luck!!!
