Cory Advise

Im think of stocking a 10 gallon with 6 neon tetras and some corys. I saw some punctatus corys at my local petstore today but wasn't sure if they would be ok for a ten gallon. Anyone know?

Ideally for a small 10g tank you would want pygmy cories, 6, as the others can grow a little too large, having said that, Ive had 3 albino cories in a 10g for a while before I moved them in with another 10 cories in a larger tank, but they were much less active in the 10g as they do like space to snuffle around and have a swim.

yes definatly look at the smaller species of corys, as has been said pygmy cories do well in small tanks in bigger groups, each of them is so lively and has so much personality
