Corries in a 10g

[Aspencer]

I have 4 endlers, 6 RCS, ...can I put a group of corries in here and how many do I need for them to be happy? The tank is planted and has green algae.

Yes, you can do a group of cories--as long as they're pygmy or another species of dwarf cories that top out at 1 inch or so. You need a group of 4 or more, I'd say no more than 6.

I have an Aquaclear 50 and a 30 on the tank. I test water and do a 50% water change every week. Some told me that odd numbers were best...urban myth? I would choose 5 then if they will thrive.

ummm....I guess I thought they snack on it...I have shrimp, a Nerite, and misc snails in the tank for the algae...
My motivation is to have a well rounded tank/eco system. I am not particular as to the type of fish, I just like fish...and so do my students. I like how my students come in before class and stand around the tank and watch it.

A school of dwarf cories are fun. They are little nuts.
