As cute as they are I'd suggest leaving out the ottos. The corys depend on how large of a cory you're getting and the dimensions of the tank. Both corys and danios are very active and would prefer a long tank. [hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith?

Also, in gallons, the tank is 24 gallons. Also I am taking the 5 danios away Last edited by flopsy at 30-Jul-2005 17:09 Last edited by flopsy at 30-Jul-2005 17:25

flopsy Fingerling Posts: 43 Kudos: 27 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Mar-2005	Hey, Thanks for all your help! I have decided to replace the 2 swordtails with 6 glowlight tetra, is that OK? I have also decided to add 2 more cherry barbs making the total of cherry barbs 6, again is this OK? So the updated fish list is: 3 guppies 6 glowlight tetra 3 platy 6 cherry barbs 3 otos 5 corydoras is this OK?
