kidsmom Enthusiast Posts: 182 Votes: 1 Registered: 22-Sep-2003  | I am restocking my 46 gallon tank and I am in of a bottom feeder. Right now I have 2 gouramis, a red tail shark, 2 angelfish, 2 dwarf cichlids, 6 platies and 6 rasbora. I was thinking of getting some corydores, opinions????? |

Does it have a cave to call its own? RTBS compatibility is VERY dependent on the unique personality of individuals. If you'd rather be safe than sorry, a dwarf pleco, like a bristlenose, will be your best bet. If you think your shark will behave, a school of 6 larger corys like trilleneatus (often called juilii), aeneus (bronze and albino), paleatus (peppered), etc etc etc would nicely finish out your stocking  |

With a school of Corydoras, you'll be pushing your tank capacity. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
