Stocking Question

[Flame Heart]

I am curious about whether we can fit another cory or danio in here, or if its too much and we should re-home them both. Right now its the fish I have in my signature, and we are going to be moving the other ADF into the 10 gallon. I know gravel is bad for corys and that danios should have a bigger tank, but my mom doesn't want to get rid of each. I would really love to move to sand and re-home the danio and get another cory, (possibly a different kind) I will have to ask my mom. What do you guys think about my whole situation?

I would say rehome the danio and the cory. The ADF would take most of the bottom up.
And if you did keep the cory, you would need to get a school, (not a different kind, each kind needs its own school)
The danio in no doubt you should rehome.

Okay, any ideas of how to break it to my mom? My mom loves the cory and thinks it does so much cleaning, but basically all it does is sit in its pot all day. From my past experiences with ottos, they do really good cleaning on the plants and glass and other objects (which is really what we need), if we re-home both the cory and danio could we get a couple small ottos? I know they have lots where we go for fish.

Get rid of the frog get some more corys

Uhh... there are 2 frogs, and they are fine in the tank, but I could rehome both, the danio, change to sand and get a few more Albino Corys I guess; but I would rather just go with rehoming the danio and cory, and buy a couple ottos.

*sighs* If only I could do what I wanted with the tank.. (exquisite guppies for the top and middle, 4 or 5 peppered corys for the bottom, sand, silk plants, and moving the turtle cave from the lone ADF's place over to the main. Any betta that catches my eye in the fishbowl with silk plants and a couple ottos, cherry shrimp in 2 smallest tanks.) But... my mom would not let me...

u know the ADF might eat ur fish if it catches them.
And the other tank is way to small for the frog

Its African *Dwarf* Frog not clawed, there *is* a difference. And yes, that is why we are moving the lone ADF to the 10 gallon.

Yes.. just look in the frog/shrimp section.
