I now have 5 little Julii Cory cats in my 10 gallon.plus a mystery fish I got. I wanted 6 cats but got this guy also. Need to know what he is so I can take care of or return himBest pic of Mystery so far.

The mystery fish looks like a Bloodfin Tetra

They prefer to be in groups of 6 or more. The more the merrier with these guys. I had a group of 10 with some Jack Dempsey's. Great dither fish.

Yikes maybe I'll see if I can return him. He's in a 10 gallon with 5 Julii cats and a betta who was moved until the cats were more comfertable. Maybe get another Julii cat because I wanted 6. And thank you.

Unless you can have 6 julii cats, 6 bloodfin tetras and a betta in a 10 gallon without it being overstocked.

Best pic so far and he practically matches the rock.

I think you should be fine. I would be more worried about having enough room for them Cory cats. They are heavy sand sifters, not alot of real estate there for them to sift thru.

Ok so just stay at the 5 Juliis then?

I would stay with the five. Stay on top of your maintenance, Cory's are little poop machines. All that sifting means a lot of scrounge eating/poop production.

Yep most likely 3 times a week. I also changed the water before I got them. Maybe I'll still take back the tetra because I don't find them all that appealing.
