ok i recently set up a 30 gallon aquarium. it contains 4 neon tetras, 2 black tetras, 1(soon to be) lemon tetra(s) and 2 platy's. i want add cory's to the mix but i cant decide between bronze and nanus cories? which are easier to keep and require what kinda foods? :help: also i want to add 3-4 guppies to the mix or would that be to much? i'd add a betta but i hear there aggressive to these kinds a fish.
 
The Albino Aneus cories are the same species as Bronzes (Aneus), just an albino variant. So, either would work. Probably 6. You also should look at adding more lemon tetras, they prefer to be in a group.
 
the lemons, neons and black tetras seem to be grouping together so i might hold off for a bit. i saw albino cories didnt like them much. i think ill get 4-5 bronze 1's

I kind of read over those. Typically, tetras do best when they are in a group of 8 plus of the same species, but obviously there's not room for 3 proper schools. Something to keep a eye on.
 
ok ill watch them. bit jumpy they are. im sure the cory's will get em goin some time next week when i get em
 
mabye get more of lemon and neon like 6-7 in each group? mabye another platy to
 
I would also recommend quarantining any new purchases to protect the existing stock against the possibility of disease.
