Need Advice on which fish?

[HollieDahhrlinn]

Hey,
Have a 5gallon tank and i need advice,

I already have 2 zebra danios and 1 albino paradise fish.
Currently re-homing my chinese algae eater.
Was thinking about adding maybe a cory cat or a snail and some ghost shrimp.

Any ideas appreciated x

No cories, they must be kept in groups and you simply wont have room in your, ahem, 4 g tank!
I'd say either snails, or shrimp, not both, too much bioload and not enough tank floor space.

Agree with Lynae. No Cories and either a snail or shrimp. Not enough room for both. Good luck!

Snails are a good idea, they are great detrius eaters and wont reproduce past the food available. MTS are great and you can usually get some for free. If you lived near me I would give you some gratis. Im sure you could pick a few out at your lfs plant tank and they wouldnt care. I know I got mine as hitch hikers.

You could do a lot of shrimp... I have 4 in my 5gal right now and am going to get several more, if I can find the buggers. They're cool to have around and barely impact your bioload at all.
