Aquarium Advice Addict
I have a 55 gallon running with:
6 tiger barbs
7 white skirt tetras
20 rummy nose tetras
5 otos and
2 nerite snails.
I think panda cories are adorable and I’d love to have something in the tank that utilizes the floor space. I usually use shrimp as a clean up crew and to add activity to the bottom but in this tank they’d be dinner for the barbs. (Learned from experience unfortunately. Hadn’t had a problem with them eating shrimp so I got 24 ghost shrimp for this tank. They were fine for a while. One day they realized ghost shrimp were delicious. In a week I stopped seeing shrimp. I think there’s a few hidden in the plant jungle but not many!)
Thoughts on a half dozen or so panda cories in here?
The tank is densely planted and at the current stocking level I never see more than 0-5 nitrate, usually 0. The plants suck it all up. I usually have to dose nitrogen in this tank for the plants.
