fishprincess Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I know nothing on frogs, cories need a group to be happy. A snail might be fun but Prince may go after his/her antenna. A 5 sounds good and roomy Prince must be happy in his new digs. An oto would be a good cleaning crew or a small pleco. Not a lot of room for extra roommates though, maybe just add decorations he can swim through instead of extra bio load . :hey: What would be the minimum size of a group of cory cats? 2? 5? 8? *Winces* I've read stories about bettas nibbling on snails' antennae. Poor snails! Every site I've been to with info on plecos mentions they grow huge and has at least one story about a person where they bought a little pleco and it grew very large. Are there any plecos that are compatible with bettas and stay at least somewhat small? Thanks! fishprincess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Some plecos only grow to about 2 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them know you're an AA member they'll look after you very well. Qattarra, thank you for the info. I couldn't find any info about a fish called a Matto Grosso, though. Where did you hear about them? Prince is totally ignoring his plant and prefers to swim in between the suction cups on the heater -roll- . Does anyone else have a fish that does this? LOL, it's so funny to watch! Thanks! fishprincess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I have lots of fish that like to hind around the heaters, as long as they are not burning them selves I don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qattarra Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) The Matto Grossos, LDA08, I picked up from Henry. They look almost dalmatian like , dark with white spots. They have some bristles, are about 2 inches long and are active and fun. I'll try to find a pic and post it for you. Check in with Henry and even Snagle may have brought in some good ones.

Qattarra Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) http://www.jjphoto.dk/fish_archive/aquariu...strus_claro.htm They are referred to as Matto Grosso as that is the location they are found.
