6 Gallon Tank Stock

[PRW1988]

Okay, I've got my 6 gallon tank with 3 guppies, 1 male and 2 females... This tank is just a temp set up, I'm trying my own CO2 system to see how well my plants will grow, I haven't set this system up yet, I'll be adding an extra female guppy too, but I'm curious to know if the tank'll be fine with some cory catfish?

4 guppies in a 6 gallon? That seems pretty well-stocked. If you want corys, only get 3 or even 4, but you'd HAVE to clean out the tank every week.

Oh! And get pygmy cories! They're the only ones to go with! I have them in my 6 gallon and they're great!

Thanks for the advice, and in regards to the "overstock" with the guppies, I'm raising the babbies in a 10gallon tank (if any breeding occurs) I'd set up the 10gallon for the parents, but it's already holding some old molly babbies my work gave to me (which will be returned when full grown) Are peppered corries pygmys? if no, how about green cories?

Panda Corydoras only stay small too so they might also be an option. Great looking and adventorous fish too.
