How many otocinclus catfish go well in a 10 gal tank?

Question

I hear I can add two. Anymore than that? I should also tell you I have 3 cory cats and 1 dwarf gourami.

Answer 1

2-3 should be fine in your tank. Otos are touchy as far as water chemistry goes, so don't add them to a really new tank. Let the tank have been running with opther fish in it for a few months first.

Answer 2

I don't see why not - I have had 3 or 4 in a tank and all was well.
Aquariacentral.com has forums that may be able to help with your question - I've always found good answers there.

Answer 3

Stocking rules for tanks depends on how big each fish will get. A good rule to go by is 1 inch of fish per gallon. Each of the fish you have already get to be a bit over two inches, as do the otocinclus. Adding two of them might be okay, but it's pushing it a little.
I would suggest adding another gourami or two instead of the otocinclus. Gouramis are better in groups.

Answer 4

You can add 2 or 3. Make sure your tank is a couple months old or so. You need to make sure you have enough algae for them to eat. Also you could feed them like fresh veggi or algae wafers. i put a link below about oto. GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

ok first of all those fish that suck the wall the smallest one is a cory others can get the smallest of 8 inches long. So i could get 3 of those, 4 neon tetras, and 3 guppies or platies yet another reliable set up could be 3 cories and 7 neons.

Answer 6

3-4 Ottos would be good, but make sure there is some algae on the tank walls, if there isn't you will need to buy some algae pellets for them to munch on...

Well these catfish like to be in groups ,so i would say no less than three.
