Hi i have a 96L tank and would like to add some more corydoras to it but i dnt know how much room i gotleft to add fish my stock atm is
1 Bristlenose
3 apple snails
2 bolvin rams
2 peppered corys
about 7 black widow tetras
about 10 ish neon/glowlight tetras
4 glass cats

How many more corys would it be safe to add to the tank it is fully cycled and has been running for years ish
 
Your pretty highly stocked, some would say overstocked. You could add a couple more corydora but what kind of filtration are you running and what is your water change schedule? Are all your parameters stable?

i got the stocking wrong there was counting the fish twice lol hehe sorry about that so it is
3 apples snails
1 baby bristlenose
4 blackwidow tetras
2 blovin rams
10ish tetras
3 glass cats and
2 corys that seem to be loaney

I am running a fuval 2 along with the Juwel In tank fliter and all water parmanters are fine :)
 
I'd add a couple more Corys. As long as your parameters are stable and you do weekly waterchanges 30%+ then I don't see the harm in pushing the stocking a little. You have got two filters on there, which you say are mature, so I don't see the harm in adding another couple of Corys.
Corys do better in groups, so they will be much happier with some buddies :)
 
chilli what would a ok number be as i need to ordered of the net as allt he lfs around here are crap lol
 
A group of 6 cories is a good starting point, but make sure they are the same species eg. Sterbai and not Haroldschultzi

As n0body of the goat suggested, 6 is good number. I'd order 2-4 more Corys of the same species. So for example if your current Corys are Peppered, then order 2-4 more Peppered Corys :good:
As you're ordering on the 'net you may as well get 4 to be honest, to make it worth the postage charge :)
