Cory Panda Tank Mates (Betta And Guppies)?

[Aleksandar]

Can i have 4 Guppies, 4 panda corys and 1 Betta in 72 liter tank? Are they compatible and what about overstocking of the aquarium, is this to much fishes or not?

Thanks

The guppies & corys will be fine, you could up the numbers of cory to 6
Male guppies & Betta may not be a good combination as the Betta could see the bright fins of the guppies & think they're rival males

Bettas are not compatible with guppies (the betta will mistake the guppies for other bettas, due to their colourful tails and will possibly attack or even kill them).

One or the other are fine with cories, but you need at least six of the cories.

As well as the reasons above, the temperature requirements of the betta would be too high for the panda cories.

My Betta is fine with the Guppies, it's not aggresive towards them. He chased them at the beginning but now it's ok. And about the watter temperature, 25C will be fine for all the 3 types of fishes, atleast according to what i read. I'm new in the hobby so i read a lot, but it is still difficult for me to be to sure of what is ok and what is not

That is too cool for the betta, have a read of THIS, they should be kept at 78-82F. 77 is the max for pandas (according to THIS) meaning they'd have a shortened lifespan.
 
Sterbai cories are a good match with bettas since they can be kept in a bit warmer temperature, but they'd appreciate a little larger tank than this. What are the dimensions?
 
How are the guppies toward the betta? While most people look at bettas as attacking other fish they are also quite susceptible to being attacked.
 
I hope I'm not coming off as rude, just want to help

I appreciate  your help and i dont think that you are rude Guppies are swimming now close to the Betta and even if the Betta comes close to them they continue to do what they do and are not running away. I will take your advice , at 25C all will be at the limits (in red zone) so Panda is out of the picture.
Dimensions are 60 cm L, 30 cm W, and 40 cm high.
Thanks again for helping

Think you might be okay with 6 sterbai cories then
