How Many Guppies?

[Texas_Wolf]

I'm going to be starting over my 20gal, new sand decor etc. Its been in storage. I know about cycling and all, and I'll be moving establised media from my 10gal to help it along.

I have 1 honey gourami and 5 spotted cories left over from when it was set up(currently in a 10gal)

I used ot have guppies and really want them back, how many MALE guppies(no babies, it got wayyy outta hand last time) could I keep with the 5 cories and gourami? I was thinking about 9....being as I have no problem with water changes to keep the levels in check. I'm just wondering about in terms of space....and well I'd don't want to shove 20 in there....even if they would have the room.

if your wanting to put them in a 20G tank then you would be find putting 20 guppies in there, the corries are bottom dwellers anyways so i think 20 guppies is the limit i would go to

Just get a few guppies if thats what you want as you soon have babies growing on then there.

Unless you go for just male set up.
If not then you should have 2-3 females to each male.

9 should be enough to spread out any aggro.
