10 gallon, Rasbora, Cory, Gourami okay?

lilly · Jan 1, 2007

In a 10 gallon could I stock this or is it too much:

1 Dwarf Gourami
6 Harlequin Rasbora (could I do 5?)
4 Panda Cory (could I do 3?)

It's 11 fish, the dwarf is 2 inches but the rest a on the small side. My filter is overpowered.

Right now this tank is home to 1 betta but I am planning ahead...

That stocking sounds good to me. I'd go with the 6 Harlies and the 4 Pandas. Panda cories actually do better in bigger groups IME, but I think 4 would be fine. Just don't have any less than that.

Thanks!

One other question, right now I have a betta in the tank alone. Can I add everything but the Gourami now or will that stress the betta too much?

It depends on the betta. I wouldn't.

Hi,

That sounds good, but I would go for four Pygmy Cories instead of Pandas because they do better in smaller tanks.

if you ahve only the betta or only the gourami, it could work. some bettas can be pretty aggressive though, so youre better ff getting a dwarf gourami for this tank and then getting the betta his own 3-5 gallon tank with the works if he needs a bigger one.

Gorami+Siam fighter = dead fish. Pick one, then do 5 of each of the pandas and the harlequins.
