[pumaf1]

I am thinking of getting some corys, they will be in 35 litre tank with apporx 10 neon tetras. any ideas how many i should get? I was thinking of 2-3 of them

3-4, they do better in groups of 3+

Hi pumaf1

While germanshepherdlver is right about having lots of corys, your tank is small and you will probably do better with only 3 of them.

That's enought to make them happy though!

People do realise this is only 9 Gallons right? Personally I'd say this is too small for any corydoras, cept for the dwarf species.

When looking around for cories, try to find either 3 panda corydoras, 5 corydoras habrosus or 5 corydoras pygmaeus. These species stay a lot smaller than most average sized corydoras you see and will do better in the tank you have.

Good luck finding the cories you want!

corydoras habrosus

thats the obne i wanted to have

 

[Erised]

They stay tiny, so you should be able to house at least 5 of them in your tank

I was gunna have three of them

 

[Erised]

That will do fine too I'm sure they'll love your tank!
Can I recommend getting a sand bottom if you dont have that already? Corydoras prefer sand, seeing as gravel tends to shave of their whiskers.

Get 4, they will be cute active little things
