What if..

My wife has got my doubting about my tank... (163x124x080 cm3, netto 1500 liters).

I'm currently eveluating a possible switch to SA

Is this tank suitable for Cory's, considering the height of the tank (80cm glass height)?
And what Cory's would be suitable for this tank?
I do have experience with a couple of Cory species and even a 'simple' Corydoras paleatus is a winner in my book, so it doesn't need to be all difficult for me.
The idea is to, eventually, have a insanely large group (30+ for starters), or would two species look nicer?
Tankmates are not important, some Characidae species (2 large groups perhaps), perhaps some Hoplosternum and some Nanancara-like cichlids, or some angelfish

Stay on the darkside ....

Seriously though they would love love this tank, many of the river video I see have greater depth then this tank..

If I was to do a SA tank I would go with

Hassar

,

Leptodoras

or

Hemidoras

....social and active ....and do not tell anyone but I still have a group of each species of

Liosomadoras

...

It's the misses Birger, she made me second guess
"I really don't like this tank"
"I would love to see more colours in your tank"
Etc. Etc.

I will however keep my small tank West Africa-themed

If I would make this switch, I would stick with the smaller species, but in large numbers.
Hopefully I will get to see more natural behaviour that way:
