Reorganizing Stock

[coyemuse]

so I currently have the following in my 75g

13 swordtails
3 platys
5 skirt tetras
4 corys (recently lost 2)
1 syno
1 gourami
1bn plec


I want to move the corys to my 10g (they seemed to do better when they were in it before.)

what other fish could I move without overloading the 10g?

 

[Noahsfish]

What type of corys and gourami?

 

[coyemuse]

false julii and opaline

 

[coyemuse]

I was thinking the platys would be the easiest

 

[coyemuse]

also im rehoming the tetras today I think

 

[haleem8777]

i would think the platys with the corys

Nothing besides the 4 catfish can go in the 10g (38 litre), it is not really big enough for them, but definitely not big enough for Platties than need at least a 90cm tank.
 
Unless you have good reason to move the Corydoras trilineatus (what I presume you mean by "false julii"), such as needing to quarantine them in the 10g, leave things be. Alternatively, rehome the catfish, or get a tank with at least a 75x30cm footprint.

the corys are being nipped at by something else in the tank and im not sure what.

as for the syno... my tank is 48.5" by 18.5" it should be plenty big for him and for him to share a little. he has two large cave areas he sticks to 95% of the time. the only things on his level are the corys and the bn.

the tetras are leaving today (I have witnessed them do a lot of the bullying)

ive had my syno for 18 months with these same corys and they've never had problems.

 

[coyemuse]

the skirts were re homed

 

[the_lock_man]

It was probably them nipping the cories.

It was probably them nipping the cories.

Im hoping so. they've been bullying for awhile and someone told me before that they should be re-homed. I just didnt have a chance to take them to the lfs. but i took them last night and they were gone(adopted out) while i was still in the store... (less than an hour)
