How Many Corydoras Can I Fit In A 22 Gallon Tank?

[Saitama Sachie]

I just want corydoras in a tank. I love them, I think they are funny little fish. I just don't know the ratio of gallon per fish for them. How many could I fit in a 22?

Maybe 300, maybe more if you don't wanna close the lid


Depends on the ground space available really what are the dimensions of the tank?

30" x 12" x 12"
(l x w x h)
I'm doing some moving around with my tanks and I want to put the cories in their own home and with everyone else moving around it ended with the 22 being the final empty tank.

Well I have a of very similar size and i have 9 cory's in it with other fish, I reckon maybe 15, then it would be a very busy bottom. I'm sure it could biologically support more, but there just would not be enough space to move around freely IMO.

Sweetness. That is perfect because that is how many I have to move around, lol. So they will fit perfectly into their new apartment. Thank you.

Excellent, I love watching my 9, I bet 15 look sooooo much better.

They play chase up and down the glass sometimes. They are such cute little fish. I wish I could go to the Amazon River and see them in groups of hundreds.
