janeth0185 said:yes my tank has been cycled...well the sales man told me it was ok to have a cory and a guppy together so thats why i purchased them first.im planning on gettin a dwarf gourami but they had sold there last one that day so im waiting til they get more to get one.and my filter is a aquatech 5-15. i just wanna know how many fish i can have ..im just hoping atleast 4
I apologize but before I can advise I need some more information.
What kind of Corydoras? All species of Corydoras are social and prefer/need to be in groups of at least 3.
What kind of tank are you wanting to do?
I personally enjoy having a group of small fish as compared to one Betta or one Dwarf Gourami.
Planning on plants?
The cory and the guppy will go together comparability wise. Thats what the salesman was talking about. The cory would be much happier in a group. If you did nano fish you could probably get close to 7-8 and maybe a snail. The only other thing is you might want to upgrade is your filter. Most people recommend a filter for double your tank size.
I had one Cory by itself for almost two weeks till I could get him some buddies and he was fine I wouldnt stress about him but I would pick a few more up when ya can. And I don't know why you are overstocked as stated earlier?!?! I don't see why you couldn't do a small school of nano fish as well as the cories. Although everyone says Pygmy cories are best in the smaller tanks and sponge bob rocks!! I have his and squid worths houses in my 55!!!
