	Bottom Feeders
Plant _LoveRR Hobbyist Posts: 67 Kudos: 36 Votes: 10 Registered: 01-Oct-2005	I've currently got 12 zebra danios 4 bronze corys and 1 Bristlenose pleco in a planted tank. What kind of bottom feeders could I get aside from increasing the bronze corys school size?Thanks.

Do you want them to perform a task, or just to be neat tank inhabitants? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Also is there any special bottom feeders you are interested in. Have a look in [link=My Profile]http:// www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/forums/profile.asp?userid=6741" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link] for my tank info [link=Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tanks]http://photobucket.com/albums/b209/keithgh/Betta%20desktop%20tank/" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link] Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Your tank is nearly at full capacity, so just take care to be diligent with the tank maintenance. The second type of cory would need to be smallish, preferably reaching only five cm per fish. Do you have a decent selection of these fish near you? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
