How Many?

[Kame-San]

In the next few weeks I would like to add some more corys to my 29g. Now, there are 8 guppies (of mixed genders, but I have a fry tank so no worries), 2 bronze corys, and 2 peppered corys. The peppered are both around 2.5inches, and the bronze are 1in. and 1.5in. I would like to know about how many more corys I can put in this tank.

But I guess you might want a little more info on this, hmm? 29g, small rounded gravel with no sharp edges, two small caves, and a few plants. The temp stays around 76F with extra aeration.

Thanks

get 3 more bronze/albino eanus and 3 more peppered as they like to be in groups of there own species.
then maybe 5 dwarfs?
then something for the middle/top?

Okay, thanks

Today at the LFS I saw a cory I haven't seen anywhere before. They guy called them "speckled" but I'm not sure what they were. Are they possibly the same as the bronze?

Well, it was a grey/brown color with darker spots. The spots were a lot bigger than the spots of a peppered cory, and they were all over it's body. I didn't see any stripes. But, there could've been some small ones I didn't see.

About 1 cory per 5 gallons of water, so 6 cories is a good total number of cories you want in your tank. But cories like to be in groups of their own kind, so I would choose either peppered or bronze, get rid of the others and get 4 more of what you chose
