how many pygmy cories?

[rreekers]

how many Pygmy cories can I keep in a 20g extra high (it has the foot print/dimensions of a 10g but 2x the high) it is a fry tank, with an aqua clear 50 and a tetra 10, cleaned every 5-7 days (going to start doing pwc every 3-5 days) to keep up with more fry(because I have 2 more momma fish that are about to pop)

By pygmy, you mean pygmaeus? You could do 10 of those, no problem. I have 8 hastatus (same size and behavior as the pygmy's) in a 14 gal (same footprint as your tank) and I rarely even see one.
