Upside-Down Catfish and Harlequin Rasboras?

Hi!

Okay, so I have harlequin rasboras and a dwarf gourami in a 10-gallon tank. Eventually, there will be some bottom feeders (cories, specifically), but I've checked out upside-down catfish and I think they're pretty cute. Would they be compatible in the tank (if I didn't get the cories)?

Thanks!

 

Personally, I don't think catfish or cories belong in a 10 gallon tank. Some people on the forum also argue that dwarf gouramis should have more than 10 gallons because of activity and aggression and such.

 

Ok, I was just wondering.

GimlI (the dwarf gourami) hasn't had any problems. He seems happy, and he's pretty much ignoring the harlequins.

 

I'm sorry to say this, but your tank is overstocked as it is. I wouldn't put a dwarf gourami in anything less than a 15 gallon and that's absolute minimum. The rasboras belong in 20 gallons or more. You shouldn't put any corys other than pygmy corys in a 10 gallon and again, I would like to see them in a larger tank.

 

OK. x

 

I have read upside down catfish get 4 inches, mine is 5. 10 gallon is too small.
