Bristle Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 This is a long-shot but is there any guppy, fry and plant safe fish that would be okay with sand. Was thinking peppered or julli cories or possibly kuhli loach. The tank is 150 litres with some plants and stones. The filter is 1200L an hour so no problem there. I keep the tank at a steady 25 for the temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have some in my main 500l that I could move and trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Kuhlis will gladly eat fry if they're big enough (and fry are small enough) Not sure about cories (eg they'll eat their own eggs/fry), but I've heard of BNs being used in fry tanks to help clean up extras. I don't know what sizes they can be though without eating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what sizes they can be though without eating them. Not sure why but I imagined kuhlis to be pretty innocent, good thing I didnt but any I nearly did. Searched the web some and getting mixed results about cories, going to jump in the deep end and buy 3 peppered cories and 3 julli cories. I also added 2 pairs of australe golds to the tank and they haven't eaten anything to my suprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
