Ihave decided to get a 10 gallon, although it is not the biggest, it will do. I have decided to get a school of corys. Albino or Pandas, I'm not sure yet. ( What do you guys think ? )

I would like some stocking suggetstions that can go with Corys. Any suggestions welcome !

Cories are a good idea, but a shoal of albinio cories wouldn't fit in such a tank. They grow to around three inches each, so the smaller pandas would be a better choice.

Compatible fish include dwarf gouramis, a betta, tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, and cherry barbs, among others. You really have a lot of fish to choose from, are there any of the above that you are particularly interested in? We need to narrow your options down.

Go with the pandas for a ten gallon, they stay much smaller than albinos do!

I'd suggest getting a sweet betta boy, or maybe two girls to go in the tank with the pandas.

I guess you could go with guppies or something, but IMO a ten gallon looks really good with a shoal of small cories and a beatiful betta.

Of course, the best thing for a ten gallon is always shellies.

You could go with German or Bolivian rams, or some type of Apistogramma cichlid. German rams and certain Apistos can be delicate though, so go with Bolivian rams if you're looking for a fairly hardy fish. If that doesn't matter to you, some of the other dwarfs are very colorful indeed, and would add much beauty to your tank.
