question bout cories

[-cAtFiSh-]

i just bought myself a pretty high tank (about 45cm high) and i was wondering if that would be too deep for some panda cories cause i really want some.
thanx

Hi -cAtFiSh-

I don't think you will have a problem at all. That is a little less than 18 inches high and a standard US 20 gallon tank is 24 inches tall. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend pandas for that tank, so they will be fine in yours.

Please be sure to get more of these than you would of the standard size cory, because they are more timid and the larger the school, the more comfortable they are.

yeah i was planning on getting around 5, maybe 6. i might start with 3 or 4 though and see how they go then add some more. would that be alright?

5 or 6 should do you fine.

a standard US 20 gallon tank is 24 inches tall.

24 inches tall???!!! can't be all that long or wide then. My tank's 15 tall and that's around 18 US gallons.

Hi K-Holed

Ooops! ) Thanks for catching that.

When I looked it up, I realized that I had misread the numbers. A US 20 gallon tank (that's the high one, not the long) is 24"x12"x16."

I still think it's going to be fine for the pandas though.
