Bottom dwelers

[Stephen Rollins]

IS it okay to have different bottom dwelers.

Ie having 6 Cory's ,3 kuhlis, 5 shrimp, 3 crabs, 2 rubber lip pleco

Is this okay or bad ?

Yeah you can have different types. No crabs though. Most require brackish water, and are not fully aquatic. Plus, I believe they night try to hurt the other fish.

Okay no crabs but every thing else in the bottom will get along?
That would be so awesome

+1pm the crab. They might see tank mates as snacks.

Yes, everything else will get along. Make sure if you get any other fish, that they are not big enough to eat the shrimp. But I think you'll be fine

It will depend on how large your tank is and the available floor space as well.

BN Plecos can get territorial esp with each other.
And need multiple hiding spots.

Kuhlis and Cories prefer Sand.

Shrimp need live plants.

Lots of factors. Feeding all your bottom dwellers can get tricky also. But in theory yes, it can work if you take all their needs into account.

I have gravel rock. No sand. I plan on getting a few live plants. And I think I just I'm not going with the rubber pleco. They get too big.

My tank is a 60 gallon , long
