Are any corys suitable for a 10 gallon?

Is there a type of Cory at that could go in a ten?

 

Sorry, but no. There are Asian stone catfish though.

 

Pygmy cories do OK in a ten gallon tank. They grow to about 1/2 inch, maybe a little bigger. The important thing for cories is floor space. So, if you've got a 10 gallon long tank that's a little bit better. I currently have five young panda cories in a standard 10 gallon keeping one of my prize Bettas company. So far, no complaints, even though the cories and Betta prefer different temperatures. Eventually, I'll need to put the panda cories in a larger tank. But they are doing very well now and for the next few months. Good luck. `

 

All cories need 20+, even pygmy's, they also need a group of at least 5, another reason why they aren't suitable for a 10, not enough swimming room for all of them.

 

I would say pygmy but they actually swim around A LOT and really love larger(10+) groups.

I second Asian stone catfish

 

What about these instead? Just don't put fish with them, I would put some shrimp with them!

ThaI Micro Spider Crabs




or one of these with nothing else in the tank!



EDIT: No I don't work there or am making any money, just providing better ideas of fish

Further edit: If you get any of those make sure that you don't have holes for them to escape.

 

Even dwarf corys need a 15 gallon minimum.

 

Panther crabs will try to catch and eat any fish in the tank with it. They are pretty good at it to

 

Ok thanks for the responses! Would an Asian stone catfish work with a calm betta?

I asked the same thing, but unfortunately it's a no. The temp difference is to much.

 

So you are looking to get a tank mate for a betta? Do you have one or are you planning to get one?

 

I guess.I am planning on getting one one I finish up the tank decorations.

 

I would start with nerite snails some ghost shrimp as tank mates

 

Though the betta may not like anything or pick and choose his mates. Mine murderfied one Nerite, but left the other be for now.

 

I got it all figured out and got two pea puffers and the betta is going in a different tank.
