how manycorries?

karazy · 03-09-2008, 10:49 PM

i have a 10 gallon with 3 white clouds. i was wondering if i could have any corydoras hasboras in my tank? and if so how many?

Clerk · 03-10-2008, 12:05 AM

I would add 3 more white cloud and 6 hasboras and call it good.

*Habrosus?

The only thing I find iffy about this is that white clouds need cooler temps than habrosus cories.

u guess u can have 3 cories. They will be fine.

JustOneMore20 · 03-10-2008, 01:53 PM

No they won't be fine, Cories need groups of atleast 6. For the dwarves, I suggest atleast 8, as they do best the more you have.

Do you still have the other fish in the 10g, karazy that are listed in your sig? If so, I wouldn't add any Cories.

If not, you should get 3 more White Clouds and you can have 6 Habrosus Cories. If you can't find the dwarves, then don't get any Cories.

What temp do you keep the White Clouds at?

karazy · 03-10-2008, 05:06 PM

no. this is actualy in my newt tank, but my newts only hurt bloodworms. my tank is at about 72 degrees and everything seems fine. i have 2 chinese fire bellied newts. but i think that doesnt change mmuch. i hope i dont get anything saying"YES THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!"

trashion · 03-10-2008, 05:30 PM

72 degrees is really too low for the cories. I've read they like it up around 77 degrees. I don't know, I wouldn't shoehorn anything else in with 2 newts and 3 white clouds. Especially as I'm sure you have way less than 10 gallons in the tank (you have some land for the newts, right?)

karazy · 03-10-2008, 10:58 PM

ofcourse. i need to improve it a bit though, but one like goes on land sometimes and the other nevr does. but i do need more. ok, im just checking. i might get a mystery snail or 2 because the tank gets dirty fast(need different fileter)

trashion · 03-10-2008, 11:03 PM

Honestly, all the mystery snail will do is make more waste. Get a better filter and be sure to do your regular water changes.

I wouldn't keep any fish with the newt personally......but if the White Clouds are ok, then just leave them. 72F is too low for Cories, like Julie said. Plus with a newt and 3 white clouds in the 10g, you are stocked.

karazy · 03-11-2008, 07:28 PM

ok. thnx guys. ya, i need a new filter..i think im gonna go for an aquaclear 30 because my newts seem to like to make waste
