Cories And Loaches!

[ara35]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am planning to buy my first tank and don't know whether to get a 10G or15G. Here was my stocking plan for a 10G tank:
-6 neons
-1 blue dwarf gourami
-4-6 red cherry shrimp

If I upgrade to a 15G, will this allow me to get loaches or cory cats (i will not get shrimp if necessary). I preferably want weather loaches(dojo), kuhli loaches, or bronze cory cats. What does everyone think??? I really want some loaches or cory cats!!

hold up on getting the 10-15 gal. Save your $$$ and get the biggest tank you can afford.

Well, if you upgrade to a 15 gallon it would only be a few more dollars to upgrade to a 20 tall (takes up the same amount of space as a 15, but it's taller).

Always opt for the max. Get it cycled then talk fish.

i think dojos get too large for a 15g. they get to about 8 inch max in aquaria, and over a foot in the wild. i think 30 gal is the bare minimum for them. they're great fish, though. I love mine. They like to give me kisses and rub against my fingers for pettings.
