1 more cory!!!
hey guys,
i was just wondering, i have a 10 gallon tank with 2 albino cory aeneus, 1 bronze cory, 3 neon tetras, 2 scissortail rasbora and 2 silvertip tetras. I think im packed, but my freind bought me another small cory for my tank. Do you think that is too many fish for my 10 gallon.
jonathan.

Re: 1 more cory!!!
Any more fish and you might be pushing it, but if the water parameters are of an axeptable level and your fish seem healthy then I wouldn't worry.
__________________
If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).
I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.

Re: 1 more cory!!!
Considering that fish you already have, might grow a little...I'd hold off. Buy another 10 gallon and get a few MORE fish. It's better to expand, then to overcrowd

Re: 1 more cory!!!
Yep, consider of buing a new tank. Corys prefer to be kept in groups of six or more.
Your other fish could also want a buddy or two..

Re: 1 more cory!!!
Osteoporoosi has a good point. With another, bigger tank you can provide your fishes with the company they need. (and the space)
