Any cats for a 12 gallon?


Hello
Just wondering if there are any cats/bottom feeders that would be happy in a 12 gallon cube. All the cats I look at online say 20-30 gallons needed. Thanks again---Anthony

i have kept some smaller cory cats in 10 gallon tanks, they do grow... but i never had one that 'outgrew' the 10. Also, a pleco thats called a "clown Pleco" where i bought mine, have had it for almost 5 years and its still less than 3".... we don't see them much up here, i wish i new the true name of them....

yeah I agree withthe above posts on cory cats there are so many different types now it has changed alot even over the last few years. If you do get them be sure to get them in at least pairs.

You could probably do a single Cory. Say an Albino Aeneus Cory. They get to about 2". Cool looking little creatures too.

I would say nothing bigger than an adult size of more than 2", and then just one.
