Roquen Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi all, I went to strictly aquariums and purchased 3 cute yellow/orange platys and a snail, however I need to decide on a bottom feeder and how many Suggestions? i'd like something different to a BN this time for a change! So this is the tank so far: Java fern and gravel rocks and driftwood 1 swordtail 3 platys 1 male krib 1 snail Any other suggestions on anything else to put in would be great. I am hopeless, just walk up and down the shop and never end up choosing anything lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 cory's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 If you have a good filter, maybe 2 otos? I'm a huge fan of kuhlies how much floorspace does the tank have? could you fit 2 of those? If its just warm, not tropical, I've seen people get away with having hillstream loaches, but its not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Cories is what I was gonna say to. You'll need at elast 4 as they like to school together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I love the look of cories and love the patterned species, sterbai and reticulatus, especially long-finned varieties of the more comon corries such as bronze and peppered, although i have never kept them... Kuhlies are interesting as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishy Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Roquen, i personally wouldn't go for cory's. Kribs seem to have a bane against them. We had several issues with kribs and corys in the same tank and the corys came off worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N*A*M Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 yeah kribs and cories don't get along they fight for the same space get more kribs they do a good job of working the gravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 There are tons of loaches you can choose from, khulis are a favourite. I don't have a krib so I don't know which one would be the best. Pakistani loaches have caught my eye a few times, do a little research and see what you can come up with. What about an oto? They're nice. You'll need a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roquen Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm going to try some khulis I think, as I can't find otos anywhere.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I have a 60 or 80L octagonal tank always forget which size it is. Anyhow, Kuhlis are your best bet OR 4 cories - no more for that size octagonal. Maybe can squeeze in both. What fileter do you run on it? No more bottom fish in that tank IMO, too crowded otherwise <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
