New 5 Gallon Tank

[JoKeR]

I got a new 5 gallon tank!

M mom just suprised me right now its all set-up Well my dad set-it up for me..

But now I dont know what to put in it?

Its already cycled since he used the filter on a 10 gallon tank we had

and the water was from my 55 gallon tank

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So now back to the topic What should I put in it?

I dont want a betta in there I wanted to be a commnity tank.....

I was thinking a pair o Guppies or a Trio (1 Male 2 Females)

and some panda cories

Its got a few silk plants that I added right now

And plus I want Guppie babies....

Anybody got more Ideas?

How much you paying for the pandas?

Perhaps you could also add an ADF and/or ghost shrimp.

Hi JoKeR

Congratulations on getting a new tank.

I think the guppies and panda corys sound like a nice combination. It might be a good idea to skip the frog though, if you want to save the fry.

Do you have a small kind of gravel on the bottom? If so, the pandas should do well and, since they are small, you could have a nice little school of them in there. Just be sure to give them a little cave to hang out in too.

Ok

Its official Im getting the pandas or other kind of cories I find

Yeah inch they got a little cave...

You could also do pygmie corys.

I saw some at Old Town Aquarium, and I think I saw them at Chicago Aquarium and Pond.

How much were they?

I think $2.19 - 2.99.

I was just there yesterday. I only saw albinos and Julis(i think).

I have the pygmys and I think that they would be a clever way of keeping your new little tank to scale. They are not exactly the same as some of the other cory cats that I have. Some of them spend more time swimming in the mid level of the tank, they are a little more shy and their schooling behavior is a little dif too. I like them very much and they have been quite hardy. On the other hand, the panda cory is a great looking fish!
