A few of the members here keep 2 corys in a 2.5 gallon tank. My lfs recommends 4 gallons with frequent water changes... I guess it's a matter of opinion. I have 2 corys and a betta in a 4 gallon and I do water changes 2-3 times a week.

They are omnivorous. I feed mine sinking tropical tablets for bottom feeders.

They need plenty of caves so they can hide and get away from the aquarium light/ They prefer a sand substrate but can have gravel if it is kept really clean.
