10 gallon

[Dyl1234]

I have a 20 gallon stocked with 10 guppies 8 males 2 females, 5 neon tetras, 6 ghost shrimp, 2 Cory cats, 5 mystery snails, and a pleco. I was going to move some fish to my new 10 gallon. Which fish should I move?

 

[Fishanatic]

Ghost shrimp and neon tetra's. But you're still overstocked, especially if that's a common pleco. I suggest maybe upgrading to a 30 gallon? Also, maybe move a few guppies. And a minimum of 4 cory's should be together
Not trying to offend you or blame you, just trying to be constructive to help prevent disaster.
Good Luck.

I was thinking about getting 2 more Cory's tomorrow and selling back a few guppies to the LFS.

You would have to totally remove the guppies possibly even the tetras to add 2 more of them.

Even the little Cory's that the max size is like 1 to 1.5 in?

Its 2-3 inches usually. It's more about the bio load capacity. 10 guppies is a lot in combination with those other fish. They can create huge bio-load. What type of pleco is it? And what type of cory are these?

That confuses me. So are you saying 4 Cory cats, 6 ghost shrimp, and some mystery snails COMPLETELY stock a 20 gallon tank?

IMO, I would sell all the guppies, get 3 more corys, and get a gourami.

Oh! I didn't know there was a pleco. I don't think any pleco is decent for that tank. I would take that back.

If its a common, it would completely stock your tank.

No, i was basing my self on the pleco as a temporary house for a common pleco. I wasn't thorough enough in explaining, but i didn't say it would be fully stocked.
I was just trying to tell him that he should remove the guppies, and maybe the tetras, to add some more cory's.

Albino pleco? are his eyes red?

 

[Dyl1234]

And I'm planning on getting rid of the pleco soon since I got mystery snails.

 

[Dyl1234]

Albino pleco? are his eyes red?

Yes it's a baby now about 2 inches

 

[Fishanatic]

Yes it's a baby now about 2 inches

No doubt it's an albino. Not sure what type of pleco though:3 Since albino is a state you are when you are born.

 

[Sillyfishies]

Well, panda cories are dwarf cories. So, if you get rid of your pleco you could probably do

1 dwarf gourami
8 neon tetras
5 panda cories
1 ram

If this is a 20 high instead of long, take off the ram.

This is my new 10 gallon. I have 3 guppies 1 male 2 females. And 2 mystery snails and 4 ghost shrimp.

Is this guppy pregnant

Is this guppy pregnant

1. If there was a male in there, most likely yes

2. It looks like she is, because her gravid spot is a lot darker then other female guppies.

Here is a better pic. I think they both are pregnant.

Hmm, probably, but you would have to wait a bit to make sure.
