Could I add 4 Corys?

[Fish_Mike]

Well i have a 20 gallon tank with 9 black neons and 2 boliv. rams, and i've been doing my research on them and now i just want to know if i can add them? Or would it be overcrowding the tank? I'd probably get the dwarf corys BTW.

From my thinking that would be fine.

i'd say it would be ok, but i'm no expert

 

[Fish_Mike]

Ok, i guess as long as it's not overcrowding, i'll get them, that's all i wanted to know, thanks!

It should be fine I think, as long as you have room for them like you said..

Think of it as "fish layering". When you put bottom dwellers, mid level cruisers and surface feeders all together, you can stock more than the 1" of fish per gallon rule bcs nobody is competing for space or food etc. Just a thought....

i think you can but corys do best in groups of 4 or more

should be fine.i have cory's and rams and the rams leave the corys in peace.

lol, got my corys!

They're really cool, i like 'em.

At first they were kind of darting all over the place, swimming to the top and darting at the surface, but now they're calmed down and settled in. They're a little skitty when i walk in, kind of swimming all over the place but i've heard that that's just the way corys are!

How big are they? If they are still small, then they will do this a lot until they get older. Mine still do it and its really fun to watch, especially during feeding time B)

No, sorry rave, no pics yet, i need to purchase a new camera, and that may not be very soon

Mine are really small, less than 1 inch, expect for one who seems to be about 1.5, so ya, i guess they will be doing it for a while
