Corries are great, i would recommend Panda corries. But YoYo loaches are nice aswell.

I would go for that! I would also go for the Corys and maybe the Pim.

Just watch that the Tetras don`t disappear, they havn`t for me but I have heard they can sometimes with Pims and Raphaels

Nothing beats the antics, activity and cuteness of a cory !!!!. And yes they are more active the more you have, it also can depend somewhat on the species.

If by spotted pim you mean Pictus Cta, then they get to big and are too active for that size tank.

I like cories too but like loaches even better Bonus is they'll eat snails if you happen to get any in the tank. Loaches are active and have great personalities too...the bigger the group the better.

Spotted Pim
This is what I was calling a spotted pim. No it is not a pictus but it is in the same family. Stays smaller and can be kept singely.

as cute and cuddly as cories are, i think loaches are that much cuter and cuddlier

plus your link to the spotted pim shows an 8"+ fish

Yes I have some smaller tetras (Flame Tetras ~ 1.2". I'm going to leave this poll up for one more day. I also will be having a pair of Koi Angels in the tank. Just picked up 6 juvies and am waiting for a pair to form. Just be warned if Corries win there may have to be a followup poll.

Thanks for voting it's been fun!
