I am getting a 15G tank very soon. At the moment i have a 5G tank with 3 corys and 1 oto. I want to move them to the 15G. What fish should i add?
Can i add a clown loach? (ihave much snails)
also i am thinking about neon tetra's, or platy or guppys. Any other suggestions are welcome!

No clown loach in the 15 gallon! They are happiest in packs and they will not do so great in your small tank since they get really big. You need about a 55 gallon to keep them. I would suggest maybe a small school of neons and some gouramies. They would look really good. Especially if you did real plants! Good luck. ;D

Yes, no Clown loaches in a 15 gal you have to remeber that they can get up to a foot in legnth :)


I would try some.......... maybe some neons or emporer tetras 8)..... Or .........both


If you need some fish that will eat snails you can get some Yo-Yo loaches or one since they do not get very big ;D ;D

I did some research and came up with this list of fish:

3 Corydoras Julii
2 Otocinclus Affinis
5 Neon Tetra
4 Pristella
2 Dwarf Gourami

What do you think?
