Default Cories

Well like most I love cories. In a ten gallon would i be able to have 4-5 pepper corries and 4-5 bronze cories? there are two filters on the tank and i do routine 20% vaccum water changes every 3 days.

Also if they happen to breed (one of the goals) will they eat the eggs and or fry?

I would stick to one type and have about 6-8. I really think Peppered and Bronze cories get too large for a 10g, but I think you could have 6-8 of just one type.

I'm pretty sure they'll eat the eggs....I'm not positive though. Someone else will have to share their experience (or knowledge) on cory breeding because I'm not certain.

Most of the time, cories leave eggs and fry alone.

I would confirm this with fishnut2 though. I only bred them for 2 years and very few times intentional. Never had them eat the eggs though.
