[fishlover25]

which cory is best? julli or aeneus? how many of each should i hjave to keep them happy? its fro a 55g tank but MAYBE homefully not will be a 10g so i dont want to have to give the fish away. what can i feed them? other than flakes? and what ever it is how do i prepare it? i also have a pleco in there. will that be a problem? i dont have any hiding places and not a lot of plants either. will that be a problem? i would like to spend the least as possible but i kno this hobby cost a lot in the tank i have livebearers. thanks a lot*SUPERSMIL

[Igor The Cat]

any sinking fish food my peppered dosent touch the sinking wafers so i dont suggest them they do like hiding places dut thouse arent necssery , pleco shouldnt be a problem inless its a royal wicth seem more aggrasive to other bottem fedders *shurg*

Good Luck!!!

Keep them in groups, the more the merrier. Maybe aim for 5+.

any corry is fine.anaeus corys are best in terms of hardyness and adaptability considering they are the oldest cory in the hobby and have been bred comericaly the longest

i hjave gravel and not sand. will that hurt them?

I keep my 3 panda corys with a medium sized gravel. While I think sand or small round gravel is probably best for corys due to their having barbels which can be damaged, I would not worry too much about it. Anyone else have any better advice?

 

[Igor The Cat]

it should not hurt them at all some corys preffer gravel over sand
