How Many Cory's Can I Have In My Tanks?

[HayzH]

i want some in my 66L and my 70L..the 66L will have Cardinals and platties.
The 70L will have a pair of betta's and some other smaller fish.

Betta Splendens should never be kept in pairs. I believe the same is true even for females. Females need at least 4 in a sorority to be compatible.

And if the small fish your talking about are tetras, tetras can be notorious fin nippers so keep an eye out.

I'm not good with stocking but I'd say 6 in each, however depending on how many platies and neons your planning it may be too much.

What are the dimensions of your tanks Hayley? ideally lenght and depth, height not too much of an issue. LEt us know and i'll be able to tell ya. Unfortunately it wont be any of the larger corys for either of them, we are talking pandas and pygmys. Which isnt a bad thing, as they are some of the cutest

Humm, i might be tempted to try 6 pandas in the larger one and 10 pygmys in the smaller. There really isnt a huge difference in size is there.

They can get a little on the chunky side really. I've just done a thread on here for my Sterbai Spawn, checkout the video and see how quickly they cover the lenght of a 5 foot tank, they can be really busy little fishies especially when playing/spawning and are similar size to the Julii.
