Corydoras?

[Ajbolton]

I was wondering which corydoras if any would be ok in my 15G UK/19G US (dont know which one Im meant to use) tank. Eventually in my tank I plan on having 5 zebra danios, 5 harlequin rasbora and a few cherry shrimps.

Would getting a few corydoras be pushing the max fish limit?
And would any corydoras be compatable with shrimp - if not which should I get - shrimp or corydoras?

Would I be best going for pygmy corydoras? Or would I be ablee to get a different kind as I would prefer a bottom dweller and ive heard the pygmy cory is more of a mid level-er.

Also are there any specific requirements for keeping any corydoras? eg Do they NEED sand? Do they NEED bogwood? etc etc

Also would I be best only getting 2 or 3 to lower bioload rather than 5+?

Any help is much appreciated thanks

I think you should go ahead with the Pgmy Cories. They cool little guys, and don't have a massive bioload; allowing you too add other sorts of critters and such.
