Re: 10g Stocking/Compatibility (Questions & Advice)

with the 3 corys & 2 platys I'd add go with 5 neons. You might get lucky and get the corys to even spawn if your putting plants, driftwood, and tucking those small terra cotta pots here and there!

Aquarium: 16" (60 cm) or 5 gallons (19 L). The tank should be heavily planted to provide hiding places for this small catfish. Although this Corydoras is a mid-water swimmer, a fine gravel or sand substrate should be used as the Dwarf Corydoras will occasionally burrow. This catfish enjoys swimming into a moderate current that can be created by a power or canister filter. The Dwarf Corydoras occasionally likes to rest on a flat stone or broad leafed plant. Use bright lighting.
Water chemistry: pH 6-7.8 (7.0); 2-20 dH (10); 75-82°F (24-28°C)
Social behavior: A peaceful fish that can be kept in a community tank with small and peaceful fish. This schooling fish should be kept in groups of eight or more. Do not combine with medium to large sized fish as this cory is an easy meal.
Social behavior: Small tetras, Apistogramma, Corydoras, Peckoltia, Colisa
FOOD: Small live foods; small aquatic insects, white worms, Tubifex , Brine Shrimp, insect larvae; tablets; small flakes; will nibble algae
Suggested companions: Males are usually not more than 3 / 4 " (1.9 cm), while females reach 1.2 (3 cm) and are plumper.
Breeding techniques: Spawning is initiated by the addition of cooler water. The eggs are deposited in Java moss. Transfer the eggs to a rearing tank. Start feeding with Artemia .
Breeding potential: 7. This catfish is a fairly difficult to breed.
Difficulty of care: 4. A hardy fish recommended for most community tanks with smaller fish.

Re: 10g Stocking/Compatibility (Questions & Advice)

you can always google images to give you a better idea of what your looking for...then if it looks like something you may want you can read up on their requriements. Just a thought.

 

Re: 10g Stocking/Compatibility (Questions & Advice)

Lol, I do that sometimes too..and I've been known to snap a photo or two for comparison since more times than not fish stores have been known to improperly label the specimens.
