I was just wondering a few things about Cories, Julii Cories mainly as I just LOVE these guys!
1) Do they produce a lot of waste? I have 4 right now, but would love to add more. I'm just concerned on what their bio load is. Don't worry, I'm not planning on adding any more to my (10) gallon, I'm looking for info for my 46 gallon.
2) I know that these guys like to be in a school, but is it possible to have *TO* many in a school? I'm not planning on any crazy number like 50 or anything, but I'm thinking maybe about 10 or 15 (again for my 46 gallon).
3) If I did get 10 (this will be a gradual thing not all at once) for my 46 gallon can I still get some Yo-Yo Loaches? Will they get along or will they fight?
4) Once my tank at work is straightened out (fighting w/green water right now due to high Phosphates in the tap water - have a diatom filter on order) I would love to add a school of Cories (10ish gradually), a school of Yo-Yo Loaches (probably 4 or 5), and 3 more Zebra Danios (to get back up to 5). They'd be joining the fish in my signature (minus the snail as I know the Loaches will kill him). Would that be overstocking my 46 gallon?
I think that's about it for now!
