How big is your tank?

A school of otocinclus would work if they tank is a few months old. They do better in established tanks, they won't eat fry, and probably won't get chased.

Tank is well established could be year old or just under. Goin to look those up. Never heard that name.. Hahha thank you.

That tank is only a 20 gal. So maybe not a school... Hmm... I'll just leave it. Wanted to add some more color!!

You could have 4 of them. They have a low bioload (although it doesn't look it).

Would one little Cory cat work? Or a fire fox??

I don't know what a fire fox is but one cory wouldn't work. They need friends.

Getting 3 or 4 next week. Once my fry grow up there will be plenty of room for the Cory's once they're moved.
