Is it possible to responsibly keep dainty corys (Corydoras habrosus) in a 10 gallon tank that already has 9 green neons (Paracheirodon simulans) and a bunch of little snails?
For the corys, some sources have said minimum 4 but other have said minimum 6. But which is it 4 or 6? Would that make our tank overstocked?
DETAILS on the tank: We have a 10 gallon, low light, low tech, moderately (I think) planted tank which is about 3 months old. It currently has a Tetra whisper PF10 filter (90GPH) with a pre-filter sponge cover. prior to the addition of more fish, I am also going to be adding a small sponge filter. It has a 50W heater which keeps the tank around 77F. NitrAtes never seem to go above ~5ppm, KH = 89.5 ppm and GH=~196 ppm
