What Corydoras species for 20 gallon high community tank?

Post by Pattycakes81 »

Hello,

I'm in the process of setting up a 20 gallon high Community tank. I would like to know what species of Corydoras I can't keep as a group in this tank.

This is the stocking I have plan:

*1 Male Dwarf gourami or 1 male Honey gourami
*6 harlequin rasboras or 6 emperor tetras or 6 cherry barbs
*4-6 not dwarf corydoras (I already have Corydoras habrosus in my 10 gallon tank)

These are the species I'm interested in:

How about any of these species?

Corydoras adolfoi
Corydoras axelrodi
Corydoras bicolor
Corydoras bifasciatus
Corydoras elegans
Corydoras melini
Corydoras metae
Corydoras nanus
Corydoras panda
Corudoras sterbai
Corydoras trilineatus

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated,
Patty

You want to know the species you "can't keep?"

All of these will be ok in groups of 6 in that tank. All my breeding colonies of corys are 10-12 in a 10g tank so your are def. good to go. Hope this helps you
