Which Corydoras ???

[Platinumpete]

I'm looking for small corys for a 10 gallon tank!

The tank has 3 African dwarf frogs.
Apple snail
6 MTS snails
and 2 platys

I want panda corys but they are hard to find..

any suggestions?

Inchworm gave me this link to these, panda corys are hard to keep, as they need excellent water quality all the time.

Hiya,

I have metae, they are similar to panda in looks and so far I've had no problems with them, unlike when I had Pandas and they just died all the time

Hi Platinumpete

Either the albino C. aeneus or the metae would be great choices for your tank, but any cory would work out as well. Pandas are an exception to the rule for corys, because they are more delicate and sensitive to water conditions.

Please let us know which corys you get, and how you like them.

I had seen some "dwarf" catfish at a LFS about an hour from my house about 3 months ago. I made the mistake of only getting 2 and now I haven't seen anymore anywhere. If you can find some, they are neat and smaller than the average and work well in my 10 gallon. I'd like to find some more as they are about the size of my smallest fingernail, very cute.

We bought some pygmy cories this week, 6 of them. They are tiny but so busy, chasing around the tank, eating and wagging their tails. They are really funny. We have a new game now though - find all 6. Practically impossible in our 120 litre tank... They do sometimes shoal with the glowlight tetras too.

I've got metae cories, they were some of the first fish I bought when I was starting out and I still have both of them! They're very nice fish, and they stay relatively small.
