please sort out your typing it seems as if your shouting.

Anyway cories need to be in groups of 6+

so i would reckomend maybe another 4 leopard cories

As for what else it greatly depends on what filtration you have what shape the tank is very tall and slim, round, square or rectangular?
Do you have an air stone or spray bar on the filter?
How long has the tank been set up?
Did you cycle the tank or leave for 7 days, or do nothing?
Live or fake plants?
Heater?

sorry bout the typeing im new to this site not sure how to work it properlly

i have have a bow fronted tank
a rena xp3 external filter
i have a spray bar and a airstone
the tanks been set up for just over a month
yes i cycled the water
i have fake plants
and a 300w heater

 

[Jazzzz]

how did you cycle the water

as you do not do this you cycle a filter

 

[portsmouthjoe]

i rinced the filter pad with water from the tank is that how you do it?

 

[drobbyb]

When you say cycled, do you mean fishless cycled? As in adding ammonia to the water and all that.

 

[Jazzzz]

how did you cycle the fish tank did you

1) add water and leave for 7 days before turning on filter rinsing media in tank water and adding fish
2) add water and leave for 7 days with filter on and adding fish
3) turn on everything and add amonia checking levels for a month before adding fish
