coolies and mosquitos

[aquariumlover10]

I am going to get 3 coolie loaches in my 10 gallon after my move and i have 5-8 baby mosquitofish that I'm going to breed and i was wondering if there were any fish that have a very small mouth that are compatible with thos two in a 10 gallon.

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Well, first off no coolie/ kuhli loaches, they need a 20 gallon long footprint, you can do the mosquito fish, a group if pigmy cories, and a honey gourami and call it a game

 

[aquariumlover10]

You realise there are about 1,000 poeple I've heard of that have had 5-6 in a 10 gallon.

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Well yes like 1,000 people that keep goldfish in a 10 gallon

 

[Bichir Bro]

Well over 10,000 people probably do because of carnivals and stuff.

 

[aquariumlover10]

Fine I'll upgrade to a 20L so any fish compatabile with baby mosquitos and coolies.

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea that's better with that you can add a honey gourami and another school of small tetras such as neons or glow lights, also harlequin rasboras

 

[Bichir Bro]

Kuhli not coolie

But yes, gouramis, tetras, barbs, swordtails, PEACOCK GUDGEON <---awesome little fish and even some German blue ram cichlids. However the rams are challenging to keep an require some attention.

 

[aquariumlover10]

Would the haurlequins eat baby mosquitofish?

 

[Bichir Bro]

I honestly don't know what a mosquito fish even is. Looks like a guppy but unless they're smaller than .5 inches they'll be fine.

 

[aquariumlover10]

I caught mine in lake mongomry in lake city florida so fare ive breed them once bye the time i get the harluquins they will be 1" long the babies are born about 1/4 an inch long and are very active.

 

[Bichir Bro]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmi wouldn't. That's pretty small

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Don't know, with plenty of hiding places some might survive, or you can get a separate tank for fry, if you want to breed, I would keep it a species only tank

 

[Bichir Bro]

Yeah

You could add them back when they're bigger

 

[Oohitsae]

It's unlikely the fry would survive with even the mosquito fish alone. Livebearers almost always eat their fry.

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Oh yea I was going today that they eat their fry but I wasn't sure if they were livebearers

 

[Bichir Bro]

Me too

Since I know nothing about them

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I kind of do but ne'er thought they were live bearers

 

[aquariumlover10]

Would just put them in a pond but my family is.going to rent.and the house we want has a small yard and my little brother is autistc and my mom wount let me because she's scared theres going to.be snake hiding in it so i may just get a little fountain and add a water pump.with a filter.
