Need Help Picking What Fish To Go With My Corys.

[Sammy-Boy]

Well i currently have a Juwel Lido 120L Tank and i Currently have 8 Neons 1 Guppy and 6 Corys. I'm kinda getting bored with the Neons.. would it be ok to take them back to the fish shop and get different fish? Need some help please

I would contact your LFS first and see what their policies are on returning fish. Some stores will give you store credit, and others will not.

In all honesty though I think you have room for more fish even with the neons in the tank. What kind of fish were you thinking about?

 

[Sammy-Boy]

Well i like the look of dwarf puffers. But wasn't sure if they would go with Corys.

 

[Aphotic Phoenix]

Not a good idea. Dwarf Puffers are far better placed in a species only tank b/c they can be very aggressive with other fish.

 

[Sammy-Boy]

Well what other fish then?

 

[Aphotic Phoenix]

lol...well there are a lot of choices...
Less aggressive barbs (like cherry barbs), a wide array of tetras, rasboras, hatchets, danios, smaller gouramis, etc etc

 

[Sammy-Boy]

Well, sorry for the late replie but i'm looking for some larger fish around 3-4"s big.

 

[Sammy-Boy]

How about a Bristlenose Catfish?

You could add
2 angels
OR
2 firemouths
OR
2 Checkerboard Cichlids
OR
2 Flag Cichlids
OR
2 Keyhole Cichlids

Any of those, you could keep the neons and add in these cichlids. The neons and guppy might become a snack if you get angels, but not for a long time if you get juvy angels.

 

[Sammy-Boy]

Ok well i decided, i'm gonna get a Bristlenose catfish and 2 rams, does that mean i still have to get rid of the neons or guppys or can i keep them?

 

[Sammy-Boy]

Bump.

 

[parker313]

You can keep them.

You can keep them, but just so you know, my Bolivian Rams killed all my tetras (bit their tails off)
