Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	15 gallons are pretty tall, I think, so you can't stock them too heavily. I would do: 6 pandas 2 female bettas 6 neons/cardinals They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

LEE_WILMOT_706 Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jun-2004	i was thinking for suggestion 2 if i could also add a ram instead of the ottos, so it will be 6 corys, 6 cardinals 2 bettas and 1 ram (not sure what type), but im not sure if its a bit over stocked. any replys would be great!

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	bla, I wouldn't have a problem adding 2 rams and another girl betta and keeping the ottos. 6 cories (small bio lode and fills up bottom) 6 tetras (bio lode is like . 00 something) 3 ottos (a little bit more than the neons) 2 rams (the only fish so far that actually produce some waste) 3 betta girls (about as much as the cories) I say use a good filter, do your water changes, and you will be fine.

upikabu Fish Addict Posts: 591 Kudos: 393 Votes: 44 Registered: 08-Jun-2005	I like #1, but for the 6 dwarf cories, I'd go with c. Pygmaeus or c. Hastatus instead of c. Habrosus (dainty cories). The first two are middle-water swimmers (like the cherry barbs), while the last are bottom dwellers like the Pandas, so you'd have too many on the bottom. Or, instead of the 6 dwarf cories, go with the cardinals. So you'd have a good community mix - bettas, tetras, barbs, & cories. Good luck! -P

kitten Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	First you have to let us know which 15 gallon you have. I know of at least two formations, the long and the tall. The 15 tall has the footprint of a ten gallon, but it's taller. The 15 long has the footprint of a twenty gallon, but isn't as tall. You can put more fish into the long version because of the increased surface area. When you can get us some dimensions, I think we'll be able to help you out better. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~
