How many corys can I have in my tank

Post by cotter1979 »

Hi Guys and Gals
I have a 30"x15"x12" (20uk gallons-i think) tank, I would like to get 2 albino and 2 pepper corys but dont know if my tank is big enough.
Any advice gratefully recieved.

Thanks
:P

You could comfortably house 10 Corys in your tank.

More if you like, but make sure there's enough filtration....

I over-filtrate with a ext cannister and an internal cannister and thus I can get away with more fishes... about 20+ in a 2 footer.
