3 More Of The Same, Or Different...?

[tameem]

I am ready to add more fish to my 55 gallon setup. I currently have three cute melenistius catfish. I definitely want to have a total of 6 in my tank.

Do you think I should add just three more of the same type, or, would it be fine to add 3 more of a different type of cory catfish? I hear the general consensus is that they tend to school with their own type, and I would rather prefer that, but the 3 I have now would definitely be happier if they had three more of their like around.

What do you think?

Thanks for your replies.

My own experience tells me you will do better with 3 more of the same kind of cory. They sure are cute little guys but about medium sized for a cory. Here is a little more info on them http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/speci...?species_id=311
