Any idea?

thanks!

Thats about 7 gallons if you put 4 Corys that would be about it!

 

[Miss Wiggle]

it's closer to 10g

and if you mean proper pygmy cories that only get to 1" you could have 5 in there with your 5 neons.

yeah it is 10 US gallons and 7.5 Uk gallons....and I do mean proper pygmy corys!

its just over 9 US gallons but i'd say the 4 cory's estimate still stands for the inch of fish per gallon rule

Miss Wiggle when we calculate how many fish, should we use us or uk galllons??!

will the pygmy's be happy in such a small school or should I get something else?

 

[newtotropical]

They would be ok at 4 but you wont be able to add anything else inc the neons

 

[Miss Wiggle]

4 is the absolute lowest group i'd ever go for with cories, and even then i'd be tempted to push it up to 5 room permitting.

Sorry to drag this out and hijack the post! Just want to get it clear in my head!

We DO use US gallons when calculating the amount of stock we can have in a tank.

True or False?

yes

the 1" per gallon rule is based on us gallons.

they're also used if people talk about watts per gallon (wpg) for lighting.
