Doesn't seem like there would be any problem, just make sure you get some sinking food for them or whatever.

I believe a tank can be deep as you can want as they spend most of their time on the bottom of the tank. That may be a 26g tall because my 55g is 21" deep.

Cories will occasionally come to the surface. All my cories do it and I keep 4 types.

That tank will be fine. If its a bowfront, I would think it would be shorter than 20 inches, as my 55g is only 18 inches tall. Either way, it will be ok though.

There shouldn't be any problems, just make sure that the food doesn't all get eaten before it gets to the bottom.
