Unless you have a 100-gallon tank, I would say corys.

You shouldn't expect the plecos to survive just on algae. Get some bottom feeder pellets for them. They need food. Also, that tank is much too small for two plecos, let alone six other fish.


I have a 55 gallon freshwater tropical aquarium and I was wondering if 3 bristlenose plecos 6 glowlight tetras 6 noen tetras and 6 zebra danios would work together?

Yes, but make sure that you have enough filtration for the bioload as plecos are pooping machines, and the plecos need to have driftwood in the tank to aid in digestion.


Will 10 Neon Tetras 10 Zebra Danios 2 Peppered Corys and 5 Ghost Shrimp be okay in a 29 gallon tank?

They will go fine - try to use a fine gravel so that the cories can root around nicely - maybe even consider adding a few more cories? bring it up to 5 - they will be much happier. Keep the PH at 6.5 - 7 and make sure the ghost shrimp get enough food - they can starve. Good luck
