Caper Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 In my 29 gallon (when I find the measuring tape will post dimensions) I have 10 tiger barbs, 1 green barb, 1 albino barb, and 4 red eye tetras. The tank has a hang-on filter, Whisper 30-60. Weekly water changes, with occassional spread out to 2 weeks or more if I'm not home for some reason. But mostly weekly water changes. Would it be ok to add 2 more tetras? How many cory's? I hope to eventually be able to get 3 ottos for the tank but I'm having trouble getting them, but if I should would it still be ok to add the tetras and cory's?? Anyone?

herefishiefishie Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I dont think the ottos will go well with the barbs. Adding cories should be fine. Its more a case of... how good the filtration, to water changes, to stocking levels... to water quality. Re my signature. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Oh my gosh, it's been awhile since I had ottos but I thought I had them in with the barbs before, but I could be wrong :-? :-? hmmm, but I thought I did with no problems, geesh hate when I can't remember! Why do you not suggest they go with the barbs? I've asked the pet store if they were getting bristlenoses in and they said they were trying. But they haven't been able to get the ottos so I'm not holding out hope. More often than not I do weekly water changes. It's the rare occasion that they've been stretched out further since I don't go away very often. Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
