Dwarf Corys In My Tank?

[neo83]

Hi

My tank is detailed in my signature and is currently stable with 0ppm of NH3,NO2 and 40ppm of NO3 (tap water level high) and decently planted.

Temp: 24-25 C
pH: 7.6

Can I have 6 dwarf corys like either the c. pygmaeus or c. hastatus? Would having them with the dwarf cichlid or the pearl gourami cause them any problem?

Thanks

Hi neo,

I keep various cories including panda and venesuelan bronze (both dwarf species) in my 380l planted community tank with a Festivum, 2 keyholes and a curviceps along with zebra loach, bristlenose plecs, denisoni barbs and australian rainbowfish. These have been housed together in the current tank for over 6 months and for even longer in my previous tank with no issues to date. They are not going to add much to your bioload on your tank so will not push your stocking limit much more than it is already.

Cheers,

Bricko
