looks good. your glass cat would probably like some friends. i assume you know they get pretty large as well.
They only get to about 4", right? :huh:

Nice tank, and besides those two fish that will outgrow the tank, it's awesome :thumbs:
the biggest i have seen is 6 inches and i have heard that they will get bigger.

planet catfish says 3 inches but i know thats not right... :/

even at 4 inches though, that tank seems a bit narrow :(

but they definately need to be in schools. personally, i think they are one of the most school-ey fish i have seen. :fun:

i think 4-5 corydoor is prob too much as the bio-load is about full and it will be pleco out and something equiverlent (bio-load wise) in so two small bottom feeders or 1 that doesnt grow as big as my pleco. dont worrie any fish that get too big will be moved into my bigger tank (29 litres)
the bio-load of corydoras is negligible compared to that of a Common Plec.

You will be fine with 5 corys. Honestly. :D

i did that already (thought you might have some good links or summit). those plants look a bit boring though isnt there anything a bit more colourful or intersting.

what are the problems with having a non aquatic plant as aposed to a truely. it seems helthy and has grown since being in my tank (i had no idea it was non aquatic, stupid me) :sad:
 
really 5 seems a bit much , how big do they get . this is my smallest tank (except my betta ones) about 15 inchs across and deep

it will last for a while in your tank (id say a month or a month and a half) and then it will start to rot and waste away.

fyi...not fun to clean up... :X

To be honest...i have no idea :p . I don't even know what the plant is called!!

I only mentioned it to you because when I set my first tank up I had exactly the same plant :nod: and upon reading some posts on here it transpired that it was non-aquatic.

I left it in anyway ;) but after a while it started to decompose so I got rid and replaced with proper aquatic plants (although again, I have no idea what they are called! :X )

I wouldn't worry yourself. Leave the plant in for now and see how it goes. If it starts to rot, simply remove and replace with an aquatic one :thumbs: .

would three corys be ok, can you mix the types or should you stick to one. this is for when i take out my pleco and CAE

Didnt realise your tank was that small :/ . Sorry.

You could maybe get away with three normal sized cories (3" max on average) but you would be pushing it and I don't really want to suggest squeezing them in.

Alternatively, a better idea would be to go with 5 pygmy cories :thumbs: , which only reach just over an inch in size.

Or then again, why not go for a Bulldog Plec or Bristlenose Plec, each of which only reach about 4" in length :thumbs: .

steve

You can mix, but I would suggest, if you are going for just three, to keep them of the same type.

thanks a lot steve ,i think some pygmys would be great im gonna see if any lfs can get some in i think. thanks a lot
 
that plant looks like an aquatic Dracena i might be wrong but i think im right, what about a lace leaf plant?(APONOGETON MADAGASCARIENSIS )
 
I have a silar plant to that, and I have had it for about 6 months now and it hasent died or rotted. But it does stand up when out of the water.
