I currently have 2 peppered corys in a 125 gallon tank. I plan to add 4 more. Is that enough for 125 gallons?
 
Yeah, it's a beautiful huge 125 Gallon tank. I'm just wondering if 6 total is enough to keep them happy in 125 Gallons.
 
6 is a good start, you could add more but that is up to you. Most shoaling fish need at least 6 but the more the merrier. I have tetras and try to have at least10 in each shoal. I would be interested in seeing pictures of your tank:snap: 55 gallons is my largest. I wish I could convince my wife to let me have a larger one but I do have 4 tanks already. :hey:
 
Here it is. As you can see, so far it just has 2 baby peppered corydoras in it now.

I have ember, neon and glow light shoals and one red eyed tetra which was a fry that showed up in my tank weeks after I gave that shoal away. Started with 5 red eye which had 14 fry that made it to adult. Here is a picture of my 55 gallon tetra tank. I use RO water to soften my hard water for them.
