How many more can i get?

[caterpillar5]

i got a 2 footer (60 litre) tank with a betta and 4 panda cories with a sponge filter, and i absolutely love these pandas, and was wondering how much more pandas i could get? what would you recommend for a tank that size?

i'd say possible 2 more, but im no expert so i think you should get another opinion

Hi caterpillar5

Your 60 liter tank converts to a 15 US gallon capacity, which is a nice size tank for some corys and a betta. You could easily add another 4 or 5 of them.

I would suggest, however, that you change the sponge filter for a box filter to increase the effectiveness of your filtration system. And, since panda corys are delicate and easily get bacterial infections, I would recommend twice a week water changes to keep them healthy. Your betta will benefit from this level of cleanliness too.

I have no idea how to operate a box filter and what to put in it? can u please give me a run-down on how the box filter works and how to work it effectively... thx

what's wrong with the sponge filter? is the box filter better? keep in mind my betta doesnt like too much of a flow so i gota turn it down a bit...
just wondering if i got a box filter... the different material i put in it? whats the difference?
