What is compatible with 20g Sorority?

[shinybetta]

A normal corydoras is reasonable at 1-3 dollars. A pygmy, or other semi-Rare cory is reasonable from 3-15 dollars, though 15 is really high. A rare corydoras can be 20+, I've even seen some newly developed color morphs go for 40!

The ones at my lfs are about 8 dollars. On aquabid I can get 10 for $25 plus $15 priority shipping. So it would be four dollars per cory. Not sure if the shipping stress is worth it. Can they handle it?

I wouldn't put a fish through shipping if you can find the same thing at your LFS. Cory's aren't as hardy as Bettas, I think.

Okay. I will just see when they will have them in stock. Last time I was there they had just run out.

[shinybetta]

The thing with corydoras is they have a poison they release when stressed. Normally just irratating to a fish, in the bag it is deadly!

[turtle10]

Oh that is scary! I will definitely purchase locally.

[shinybetta]

Remember, it only takes a few moments to kill them. The best thing is to make sure they get stressed when being caught, so they release all of the poison.

[turtle10]

Okay. That is so creepy lol.

Molly will breed like mad, continuously and even two of the fry is too much.
Molly are also messy like goldfish.

Guppy don't drop fry anywhere as quickly as molly, they're more of a slow production line.

I heard guppys were not safe becuse their tails are like bettas (mistaken identity) I have a lot of ghost shrimp and 2 ADF in my 20 gallon sorority/communty tank I did have danios but had to move them because they are pigs lol
