Fish for a 12 gallon tank.

[kanyon]

What fish would you recomend for a 12 gallon tank? I was thinking of getting 5 or 6 neon tetras. What other fish would you guys recomend that get along with tetras.

Three (minimum) cory cats of your choice flavor, just keep in a group, they like cory company.

Three or four otocinclus catfish if you have algae. Tiny but hungry.

Maybe a Ram or two, but don't overstock. NO angelfish. Good tankmates with adult neons, but a 12 is not big enough for a half grown angel to be happy.

dwarf live bearers aka least killies would be a fantastic fish for a 12.
gotta push my favorite fish.

Dwarf cory cats would do well in a 12 gallon... there are 3 different types and all stay small and are pretty active (not just on the bottom). My 10 gallon has 4 corydoras habrosus, 4 rasbora espei, 2 otos and 1 male betta and it's a great tank to watch! Busy at all levels with friendly fish. Good luck with yours

TP, those are neat fish, where can they be found? Can my LFS (Denver, CO) order them for me?
