I would like to set up a 29gal tank with yellow tails and cories
Would like some info and ideas
Yellow tails can take cooler water are there any cories that can handle cooler water.
With 4cories in the tank how many adult yellow tails can I introduce?

Hi, I'm assuming you mean Melanotaenia herbertaxelrodi (Lake Tebera Rainbowfish). They are active fish so a 29 gal may be a bit cramped unless you get them young and then upgrade to a longer tank as they mature. Most corys like cooler temps; pandas would be a good choice. Since both are fish that need groups of their own kind you'll need at least 5 rainbows and 5-6 corys which would max out your tank space.
