What kinds of cat fish for a 30 gallon?

Post by Cory-PlecoLover »

So I have a 30 gallon tank that has 4 cory cats, a pleco, 4 female betta fish, 7-8 feeder guppies, and a sailfin molly.

I'd really like a neat cat fish to put it there. I would prefer that it gets along with my other fish... thats always a plus! lol!

Please post your suggested species and what they eat. If they eat pellets, algea, wafers, ect. just post them please!

At first I would get rid of the common pleco, your tank is way too small for it. Then get more Cories (of the same species), 4 isn't really a group. For a pleco that eats algae/wafers I'd go for a bristlenose . They won't bust your tank, are easy to keep, available and come in different colour morphs. If you like it colourful go for the albino, the "fake" L144 or the super red variety.
Cheers,
