i think pretty much the only option would be the pygmy corys and id say around about the 6 mark

c. pygmaeus
c. hastatus
c. habrosus

could have about 10, i'd say.

yep, go for those pygmy species, but introduce them slowly, they can be exceptionally fragile little critters. i've been through several c.habrosus, one didn't even make the trip home in the bag!

wow 10?


i was thinking maybe 3 or 4 of the larger species, like bronze or peppered etc. could that work?
because i cant seem to find ne pygmys in my local area, but plenty of the larger species.


cheers for ur help guys.

u would need really at least 5/6 2 make them happy so that many would be way 2 much for a 10g i would still only get maybe 6 of the pygmy corries tho just so not pushing stocking limits
