I currently have 5 mollies and 2 dwarf gournami in a 25 gallon tank. I do a 40% water change each week and have a 1100 l/h submerged filter.I also have 2 live plants. I really want a cory cat but don't want to over stock. Do you think my bio load can handle one more?
Yes or no?

A school of Pygmy corydora could work.
Don't get just one corydora, they are schooling fish and need groups of 5+ to feel safe and secure.

Get at least 4... Bioload is fine.
If anything I'd be worried about the gourami. If you have 2 males one of these days they will turn on each other.

At least 5, IMO... But 4 if you cant do 5... They will do badly without a school.
And Pygmy Cory doesn't mean any Cory... Some are a lot bigger than others. Ive seen Bronze at 3" before.
But 5 Pygmies should be ok
If money cant buy happiness, that why do I need a job? I mean, I should be getting these fish free, since I don't have to pay for happy...
