Bottom Feeder?

[megoto]

I haven't set up a 10gal tank in a long time mine is 55 and my neighbor wants to surprise her husband when he gets back from Afghanistan. I was wondering wich bottom feeder would work best.

What do you plan to put in it?

A small group of cories would work, as would kuhli loaches, snails, shrimp...it all depends on what other fish you're thinking of putting in.

Ottos , Chinese algae eaters, cories, snails, shrimp, etc.

i would go with a nice group of pygmy cories. They are super active, fun, and engaging. My current favorite is c. habrosus.

I agree with msJ

Agree with above.

I would NEVER put a CAE or Otos in a 10G.

Pygmy cories would be perfect!!

Thanks all but the LFS's in this area don't cary the pygmy corys and she won't order them so I guess she'll have to use snails. I think she planning to put fancy guppies in the tank with maybe some neons.

Ottos I would say NO but you may just get away with it but I wouldnt do it, Chinese algae eaters (CAE) are a definate NO NO in a ten gallon.
