What Tank Mates To Get?

[RichyJ]

Ok, updated list:

Amano Shrimp.
Panda Cory (1).
Bushy Nose Plec (1).
Honey Gorami (1 male and 1 female) - what can I replace these with if they will snack on the shrimp?
Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid (1 male and 2 females).

corys are shoaling fish, should have a min of 5

 

[ZoddyZod]

honey gourami should not touch the amano.

 

[RichyJ]

I have 4 corys already, so 1 more will make 5

 

[RichyJ]

I think we have a completed list of fish to buy then Unless anyone has any more comments/recommendations?

Final list:

Amano Shrimp (How many, I was thinking 5 or 6?).
Panda Cory (1).
Bushy Nose Plec (1).
Honey Gorami (1 male and 1 female).
Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid (1 male and 2 females).

-------------------------------------------------------

Already in tank:

Tetras (15 or so).
Peper Cory (1).
Bronze Cory (1).
Albino Cory (1).
Unknown Cory (1) - hes spotted with orange tips on his fins, any takers?

Betta - but he will be out of the tank when new fish are added.

Cories prefer their own kind, not a mixed bag of different species. They probably won't even shoal with each other.

I dont know about shoaling, but the 4 corys I have atm hang out together a lot. They follow each other around. Tend to find them resting/sleeping(?) in the same spot together. They seem happy to me, very sociable with one and other. Anyone else had problems keeping mixed species of cory? I could keep them in pairs, but I couldnt have five of each species of the ones I have - I dont have the room. argh..

gourami will eat the shrimp aswell

My cherry shrimps seem to have survived my dwarf gourami trio... Maybe I've been lucky?
