Witch one sounds best?
1. 4-6corys and one male guppy havent decided what cory breed yet.
2. 6-8 tetras. Preferibly peticoat/skirt tetras.
3. Assorted guppys
4. 7-10 white cloud mountain minnow s.
Allmost all tanks would have snails and mabey shrimp.

Are you wanting a schooling fish with bottom dwellers or just schooling fish?

 

[haloFish]

I would prefer cory cats
Edit: cat fish in general

 

[King Fisher]

A school of 6 cory cats and 10 skirt tetras or 6 Cory cats and 12 white cloud mountain minnows should fill the tank out nicely IMO.

 

[Austin.]

I would do a group of white clouds and a group of skirt tetras. Around 5-6 of each species and around 4 cories.

 

[haloFish]

Thank you for the info I think ill go the tetra and corrie path. Preferably albino corys

Edit: would.albino corys work. I know they are warmer temp

 

[King Fisher]

I've never heard that they need warmer temps. You can keep both cories and tetra between 75 and 78 degrees.

 

[haloFish]

Ok. Finally do you guys think albino corys would look great on black substrate?

 

[Austin.]

Black skirt tetras can be kept in 65 degree water and if you get peppeted corys they can handle 65 degrees.

 

[King Fisher]

I personally don't care for albino anything but the color contrast between the two would look good.

Ill add that albinos like a little more light than regular colored cories..... something to do with them being albinos.

 

[haloFish]

Ok. Thanks for all the help everyone. I will Definitly post photos when I get the first batch of [emoji226].

Not trying to offend you but make sure you cycle your tank first. I don't know if you are new or experienced.

 

[haloFish]

I have a cycled 10 gallon. And an extra media cartridge in it so when I'm ready for fish I can just move the extra one over. I have prime to deal with the mini cycle.

 

[King Fisher]

If you space out the fish you get you shouldn't get a mini cycle on a cycled tank. For example, add your Cories first then add your tetras a month later.
