hi, i was just looking at an online fish store and they sell 'filler packs', but i am curious about the 'biorb filler packs' they have
they have one which is a baby biorb filler pack, and im sure the baby ones are only 15L, anyway the pack includes:
2x Assorted Cory 
3x Assorted Male Guppy 
4x Glowlight Tetra 
4x Neon Tetra 
1x Occotinclus

 
are those fish suitable for a 15L?? it seems it is way over stocked
 
also, i have a 35L Biube (same line of tanks as biorbs but different shape) would any of these filler packs be suitable for my biube?
option 1
1x Siamese Fighter
2x Galaxy Rasbora
6x WCMM
6x Black Neon Tetra 
2x Ottocinclus
4x Assorted Platy

 
-or-
 
option 2
2x Assorted Cory 
4x Assorted Platy
6x Leopard Danio
6x Neon Tetra 
6x White Cloud Mountain Minnows
1x Borneo Sucker Loach

 
-or-
 
option 3
2x Assorted Cory 
6x Assorted Male Guppies
6x Silver Tip Tetra
6x Black Neon Tetra 
1x Male Siamese Fighter
1x Borneo Sucker Loach

(i know betta and guppies cannot be kept together by experience, so i would house the betta in another tank)
 
it claims that they are suitable for all aquariums and biorbs, im not too sure if thats true
can anyone tell me which option is best for mine, if any?
 
 
 
 
No! None!! They are all awful stocking for any biorbs and most all obscenely overstocked.
 
Corydoras (and any catfish/loach with whiskers) aren't suitable for biorbs due to the rough ceramic substrate. It damages their whiskers and generally leads to horrible bacterial infections on their faces...
 
Not to mention way too many fish...
 
But also keeping shoaling fish in pairs? Hmmm..
 
Yes exactly what I thought when I saw them.. I can just imagine them in the baby biorb not being able to even swim. I can't imagine how many people have already bought this.
And also because they are a well trusted site people would not be likely to question if its ok, I'm glad I did incase I bought one at some point!
 
Oh.

My.

Goodness.
