My Fish Variety

[bristlenoseitplecoman]

Vote on what you think of my fishtanks variety. I have a bristlenose suckerfish, tetra, corys, and a snail.

What size tank is it? And what type of snail, tetras and corys do you have? And what is the suckerfish? I'm guessing it's a Chinese algae eater?

It is a ten gallon tank. my snail is a blue mystery snail, my tetra is a black jumbo, and the corys are emeralds. My suckerfish is a bristlenose suckerfish.

could you be more specific with the black jumbo tetra? I haven't heard of that name being used before. Do you know the scientific name? And how many of each fish species do you have?

Hate to say it but its not great.

When you say Tetra that worries me, do you only have 1? They need to be kept in schools - being black jumbo I would guess either black widow or black neon tetra. If its the Black Widows they grow too large for a 10g and arguably black neons do also as they are quite chunky as adults.

The corys are not actually corys if they are emeralds - emeralds are actually Brochis catfish which do actually get huge for a cory type adults are a very chunky size especially for a 10g

And again hate to say it but bristlenoses are too big for a 10 gallon tank as well.

Given the active nature of the brochis with their size and the size of the bristlenose I would go for a 30 gallon tank for that - though that would mean you could add more to the tank but it would make a good home for your current fish.
