How Many Corys Can I Put In An 80Gal?

[amy1994]

I'm not getting any just planning for later as still need to redo tank, but i know that they have to be in groups so i was thinking 8 or 10?
Is this too many?

You could get 30-40 comfortably with other fish in a 80 Gallon

No it's not too many. As stated above, you can have quite a few (though I would personally keep them around 20). Only because I don't want the entire bottom of my tank swarming with catfish. It's a personal choice. If you decide to stick with a lower number of them, it's better to keep just all of one type or two different types rather than doing a mix and match kind of thing. If you really want to mix them up then at least make sure they are all from the same family. Example: corydora

Yes, thats what i meant sorry, different types of corys together.
I've also got a couple of plecos already, and as much as i like them i probably wouldn't want 30-40 as they would be everywhere.
But i didn't know i could of kept that many
Thanks for the help, i'm definitely going to have corys when it's all ready
