Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have 3 glo danios in 1 quarantine tank and 1 electric green " cory" in another quarantine tank. They will all be going into an empty cycled 10 gallon aquarium. One of the danios is a bully. The electric green "Cory" hardly ever moves, but the others of his type died right after purchase. My water pH is around 8.2 but I am soaking drift wood for the 10 gallon.
Right now, it doesn't matter what I want, but what is best for them. I read that the electric green needs 4 minimum but that they are really 30 gallon fish. And, the danios, do better in a group, too. I had 5, 2 died the night they were purchased, and Maniac was just as much a bully with 5 in quarantine. My tank will be planted. I would say heavily, but my guess from seeing other tanks, than it would technically be considered moderate.
Also, I have a shellfish allergy. My daughter got really angry when I talked about adding shrimps. Even with the mention of gloves and other precautions, she was furious. So, for family peace, I guess shrimp are out.
Should I go against the guidelines and get more electric green? Or should I get 10 gallon corry and hope my guy fits in?
Do I need to have all glo danos (like about 6 total) because of Maniac?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
