	Need Advice On Stocking
eogle Hobbyist Posts: 58 Kudos: 24 Votes: 56 Registered: 28-Feb-2006	I currently have 6 serpae tetras in a 10 gallon. I was wondering if bronze corys would be compatible or if the tetras would pick on them. I know serpae tetras are notorious fin nippers. -Eric "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

I would just concentrate on your Serpae Tetras. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

It make doing a reply no matter how long or short worth the effort. Keep asking Eagle that is one of the best ways to learn especially about fish keeping. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
