I’ve got 6 Khuli Loaches and they are so sociable, so active. Gorgeous.

I had a green labor Cory for 8 years

Would any of the fish you mentioned do well in a 5 gallon with a betta?

Jonny Mleziva - 6 years ago

Jane Abel shrimp maybe

V. Stag - 7 years ago

I still agree 4 months later these are top five Bottom Dweller Freshwater Fish

My synodontis Petricola was $40

Renata Sk - 7 years ago

I love corydoras. Thanks

Jeremy Niewinski - 7 years ago

Those synodontis look just like a smaller version of the synodontis multipunctatus.

Sam Pearce - 7 years ago

I swear you have neon or cardinal tetra in like 80% of your tanks

Fish Keeper Daniel the Great - 7 years ago

your wife beat u up cory? u have a black eye (left)

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I had eye surgery when these videos were made.

Whats the name of the black fish with spots in the same tank as the dwarf chain loaches?

STR33TSofJUST1C3 - 7 years ago

Corydoras axelrodi. And that's a white fish with black patterns. No black fish in that tank.

birish21 - 7 years ago

My Geo got sick and died. Was a sad sad day.

Elvin Hernandez - 7 years ago

Cory awesome video! Good info, was wondering corydoras do you need a gravel tank or can a bare bottom tank work?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Elvin Hernandez they can do either.

Can I keep gophagus with goldfish?

Brian Sizemore - 7 years ago

Wish I had found your videos before I got into the hobby! Lol some things I would like to have done differently! Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge!!

Sean Ford - 7 years ago

What is the difference between synodontis petricola and synodontis lucipinis?

Sean Ford - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op because I got one and it was labeled petricola but I am not sure now.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

In a pet store they are the same. As species they are different, but true petricola are rarely seen.

arvin mendoza - 7 years ago

How old do cories have to be before they breed?

Amanda Gallina - 7 years ago

What are those fish in the tank with the blue shrimp you showed? Colorful, long tail fins with black and white "camo" shading...

Jake Hornberger - 7 years ago

Im not sure whats going on but my corydoras really haven't done anything since ive introduced them to the tank, I have 2 bronze and 2 spotted. All of them just found the one corner of the tank and lay there, havent sifted through the gravel once! and there is plenty of material for them to pick up as well. Any advice to help kickstart these guys?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

They should be in groups of 6 or more of each kind. so you'd want 6 bronze and 6 spotted. etc.

Ewa Myhrén - 7 years ago

do they eat the poop

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Some will feed on it, it doesn't remove it from the system, just breaks it down a bit further.

hey Cory how do you tell the difference between a male and a female corydoras

pedro diaz - 7 years ago

I have kept a cory with cotton mouth for over a month in my quarantene tank. I have treated him with everything: EM, Ich X, General cure, Paraguard, Parashield. I even tried a salt dip, which I guess is not recomended. He's still alive, but has fungus patches and mouth seems deformed. Also getting smaller as fins seem to be getting shorter. I guess I should cull him, but I hate to do that. I change the water regularly, oxigenate, etc. He has been in the quarantine longer than any other fish. Any ideas before I pull the plug?

Mike Corbett - 7 years ago

I love your analogy in the end, it is perfect!

Prime Time Aquatics - 7 years ago

I love the list. Geophagus are one of my favorites too! I would put plecos on my list. : -)

Royal Crab - 7 years ago

Will Geophagus eat Cardinal Tetras?

Royal Crab - 7 years ago

Thanks for the info!

Prime Time Aquatics - 7 years ago

I have a colony of geophagus steindachneri which are still small ~ 4", a geophagus heckeli ~ 6", (4) geophagus tapajos ~ 4" and a geophagus surinamensis ~ 6". Most will get to about 8" (maybe larger for some). I've had others approach 8". None have tried to eat other fish as far as I know, but can't guarantee they won't. : -)

Royal Crab - 7 years ago

Prime Time Aquatics How large are yours?

Prime Time Aquatics - 7 years ago

Possibly just due to their size, but I've never seen any of my geophagus go after another fish.

Sacred Wisp - 7 years ago

cory , will nerite snails eggs hatch in freshwater because my nerite snail has laid so many of them all over the aquarium?

They don't hatch. You just get a million little white spots on everything, which are a pain to scrape off. : -)

Welcome to the hobby! Fun right?

DigniTy - 7 years ago

I love Geophagus. Too bad I can't have a 5ft tank :p Kuhlii loaches would be my top 1, super funny, peaceful, and good for smaller tanks.
Oh, btw, the Corydoras you called julii are actually trilineatus.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+DigniTy if we are being technical, they are false triliniatus, actual trilineatus are pretty rare in the hobby

my piranha is swimming horizontally and other does not swims .
what the problem?

Omkar Kerkar - 7 years ago

ok but why one of these swims horizontally?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Omkar Kerkar hard to say, but if you only have two that could be the problem as they are a schooling fish

Knot the Groxius - 7 years ago

Uhmm, I got a question what do you feed ghost shrimp or any shrimp you can put with bettas?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Knot the Groxius ghost shrimp are carnivores so basically they'll eat anything. Same for other shrimp they are scavengers and will eat pretty much anything

can you keep Corys with dwarf crayfish?

+Nancy Griffin not recommended

brian strebe - 7 years ago

i have two julii cory cats and one emerald cory. i started with more and would like to get them back up in stock once i reestablish my planted tank. i really love the way they dart around together and don't really mess with anything. i'd like to get some otocinclus and shrimp to tidy up my plants maybe some powder blue dwarf gourami's. but first i gotta replace the frames on my 55 because the old top center brace broke after i tried to repair it with glue and plexiglass

wheres the plecos

James Rodden - 7 years ago

Sam's Animals And Fishing I’m pretty sure plecos arent bottom dwellers but they are bottom feeders

cloudyview - 7 years ago

sams tropics they're poop machines, I guessing that's why they're not in the list

jc cote - 7 years ago

Just added dwarf loaches to get rid of snails problem.

Aman's Aquariums - 7 years ago

Great choices of bottom feeders. Can't disagree with any of them. I am very favorable to the kuhli loach. My dad had one when I was a boy and I thought he was the coolest ever. He had it for years. Thanks for sharing

mitch bahkum - 7 years ago

Can you make a budget tank for people who want to get into the hobby where there are some really beautiful fish, a clean up crew, recommened filtration all that? I think seeing what you had, and built it from the ground up would be way amazing.

Allyson Chains - 7 years ago

+Allyson Chains I personally haven't had problems, I think it comes down to whether you are feeding foods that fall into the cracks of the eco complete

Are the geophagus peaceful with small tetras

Prime Time Aquatics - 7 years ago

Depends on how small the tetras are and how big the geophagus are going to be. : -) I have never found them to go out of their way to chase smaller fish, but I'm not sure I'd keep the larger 7" - 8" fish with small tetras. I will say I've never seen them try to eat another fish though.

Another good option along the lines of Geophagus is the Bolivian Ram. Similar sand sifting behavior but in a much smaller package. I also think they're very attractive and love their personalities.

Jane Doe - 7 years ago

So I need some fish advice. I grew up keeping fish with my dad, and I'm about to get my first apartment. I want to keep a smaller tank, just 5-10 gallons. I have some experience, but I want something easy to start off with anyway since it's the first time I'll be taking care of fish by myself. What would you recommend?

Jane Doe - 7 years ago

Delaine LD yeah I wish I could have a bigger tank, but it's a small apartment haha. As it is, I'm just going to be keeping it on my desk.

Neon Tetra Aquarist - 7 years ago

Jane Doe I'd go with a sand substrate, some java moss, neon tetras, and cherry shrimp.

Delaine LD - 7 years ago

I find my 20 gallon long is the same amount of work as a 10 gallon and opens up more stocking options. Just a thought.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Jane Doe 10 gallon community tank

Jane Doe - 7 years ago

Doodle Doodle Nope I was considering a beta, but I only have a petsmart in my area and all of their betas look so unhealthy. I'm kinda torn between wanting to 'rescue' one and not wanting to support their practices at all. The tetras are a good idea too! I never considered going with just them, but maybe I will. My dad has a school going in his 30 gallon with some other smaller fish. They're always fun to watch.

Doodle Doodle Nope - 7 years ago

A 5 or 10 gal would make a great home for a single betta, which are pretty easy to care for and really enjoyable in looks and personality. You can have a lot of fun with a betta tank! If you want multiple fish I would get a 10 gal and about 5 tiny schooling fish, like neon tetras or ember tetras, and a few shrimp. Both are super easy to care for and together they make a lively, interesting setup :)

Elizabeth Birckett - Lozano - 7 years ago

I have 2 albino Cory's and 4 bronze. Is that equivalent to a group of 6 even though they're a different variety? I've only kept fish for about 4 months and these little guys became a favorite

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Elizabeth Birckett - Lozano they are the same species just different color morphs, so yep counts as 6

Catfish Cave - 7 years ago

I might exchange bushynose plecos for shrimp because I haven't kept shrimp...yet; but I totally agree with the list! Juruparis are the best vacuum cleaners and so much fun to watch!

ThatFishGuy - 7 years ago

I simply have Emerald, Bronze, and Albino Cories, and I have a large school of them and it looks beautiful.

Keeping IT Fishy - 7 years ago

since I'm doing a Geo tapajos, lemon tetras and Cory's... with both of then being bottom feeders will I need to use algae wafers for the Cory's.

Keeping IT Fishy - 7 years ago

OK thanks. And the rest of the fish will eat it as well, I planned to feed northfin cichlid formula and veggie formula. I was told for the geos

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Paris Barksdale you'll need to feed the corydoras yes, algae wafers wouldn't be as good as a sinking carnivore wafer as they are carnivores

Dang those corys cost a lot where I'm from they are only 5 buck a pop

Jeremy Niewinski - 7 years ago

I run a (retail) pet store and our juliis go for like $11-12 we don’t really order them because they don’t really move because of that.

Great list Cory. I have a 75 gallon mix Malawi tank with one 14 year synodontis cat. Do you think the dwarf synodontis from your list would be ok in there? Or can you please recommend a loach that would be ok long term, I know clown loaches wouldn't be able to stay for ever.

Okay, What do you suggest ? Flourish Excel ? or any kind ? because I have only JavaFerns and Anubias nana with a bare bottom in African cichlids...

I went to a LFS today and bought new fish, Ameca Splendens and some other.
When I came home I saw that the Ameca Splendens died and all the other fish were doing great! So I called the store and next time I get new ones.
Do you have Ameca Splendens too? What do you think of them? Easy to breed?
I would like to here other peoples experience too!
Keep up the good work and thumbs up!

Marks Shrimp Tanks I love shrimp, I only have cherry shrimp as of now though. But my dream shrimp would have to be any type of black shrimp.

I totally agree with your last statement about only getting fish that you want to keep. I love my clown pleco even though he just hides in his cave all day and comes out during the wee hours of the night to scavenge. I think it's mostly a matter of my respect of him and that I enjoy watching him find and steal the wafers when I drop them in (usually for only a little while).

OpticsVision I agree I got an otocinclus and I got him for cleaning and because they are nice little fish. mine can be so much fun to watch sometimes.

My angels tank has a sand substrate (I use river sand)...I keep corydoras with them and the corys love sand...tank is planted but all the plants are the sort you attach to wood and rocks like java fern and anubias.
