small catfish

Hamm35924 · 08-25-2005, 04:49 PM

Does anyone know of a small catfish or bottom dweller that can fit in a 10 gallon and will get along with platys, mollys, and a male betta?

it's not about whats cuter, its about what fits well in the tank. if you want cory cats see if you can find pygmy cories. They stay smaller than other species. Or you could get away with two ottos.

no, cories do not eat algae. They are bottoms feeders. They eat sinking pellets, wafers and other foods that fall to the bottom.
