  • my fry tank...

    my fry tank is a 10g with about 30 fry in it right now and i was wanting to get some kind of bottom feeder that i could put in it to clean up all the excess food that the fry dont eat...if i can do this safely without putting the fry in danger then what kind of bottom feeder would be best? a cory?

    Shrimp, or a trapdoor snail.

        Cories are good, but you need to keep them in a group, and in a already full tank....eh....not sure. Not all snails are bad, and trapdoors don't breed like plague rats. Shrimp would breed some, an supply free live food...)

                One small BN pleco should do the trick, they are very active when small. FRII usaully has them about 1-1.5" for about $5

                  i would say a small group of 3 peppered cories would be fine in a 10g with fry.

                  fry are so tiny, i dont see the cories causing to much of an impact.

                        if you want one just get a cory, they don't need to be kept in groups. i had one in with my adult fronts for years NP.

                          I hope they're not otocinclus. They're obligate herbivores. Unless the fry are also herbivores and you're feeding them only vegetable matter.
                          Trogdor was a man. Or maybe he was a dragon man. Or maybe he was just a dragon. But he was still TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

                          You know, fish are great. I love my fish. But what I really want is a monkey.

                              sounds like otocinclus cats.
