Is there any that would fit in my 10g which contains 2 female bettas and a gourami? BTW, it's a planted tank with regular gravel, and no algae what-so-ever.

Cheers

Would 2 or 3 cories work?

Could I really fit that many? It just seems a little tight is all.

sure... pandas only get like 1 1/2 inches long so they'd be fine as long as there aren't any other bottom fish.

That would be cool. I don't know about finding them around here though. How many bronze cories could I fit?

Thanks for your help.

bronze? oh, I suppose about 4.

if you can find them, you could even do 8-9 pygmy cories.

I would say go for a few otos.
I wouldn't put that many cories in a 10g with 2 bettas AND a gourami... maybe that's just me. :cool2:

I'm with you. But don't I need algae for ottos?

it's reccomended, as most of them are wild collected and sometimes folks have trouble getting them to eat anything other than algae.

pygmy cores only get to 1" in total length.
