Oddball ideas for a community bottom dweller in a 10 gallon?

[stowcenter93]

I upgraded my betta to a 10 gallon with a school of Rasbora Hets. Was looking for ideas on something to live on the bottom outside the pygmy corys, snails and shrimp. 

I do have Kuhlis in another tank, so I'm familiar with that option.

Check out some gobies. They're more unusual, and interesting.

They are a bit more reclusive, but asian stone cats a lovely little nano bottom dweller

I was just about to suggest an anchor cat. 😄

@DaveOlike a stiphodon Gobies or the bumblebee goby?

@Nature Coast Aquariums  @H.K.Luterman oh that's amazing. Totally fine with reclusive. Would they be okay in 80 degree water? I keep my betta warm.

huh, true enough the internet does say no warmer than 75. that's somewhat surprising to me because the fish store I worked for always carried them and they were kept around 80 all the time and did well for us

@Nature Coast Aquariums  I'm sure it would work fine if the tank was properly maintained. I keep my chocolate gouramis much cooler than recommended. I keep my neon goby in a very low flow aquarium. 

 

Cory talks heavily about how fish can normally handle 1 stressor. Might work fine once I season the tank more. Are there other types of anchor cats?

There are other members of the Hara genus, but I've never seen any of them in person as far as I recall
