Leopard Corydoras

[bigfish]

Hi

I'm thinking of getting Leopard Corydora because my chinese algae eater died i would like a bottom feeder that is easy to keep and will feed on sinking algae pellets, flake foods etc. I only have 43 litre aquarium so i need something that wont grow very big, hence the cory as it only grows to 1.6'' (4cms)

Does anyone have any personal experience with these that could give me some advice?

A 10 gallon would be OK with 4 or so corys. They're shoaling fish bigfish and are best in groups.

Wont that be too many for a 43 litre bow fronted aquarium? I was thinking of getting two now and maybe some more later on coz i be getting another tank soon. But i'm stcuk between pgymy corys and leopard corys they both fit well and are both cute. arhhhhh decisions decisions!!!!

Now that I have converted your litres to my gallons (11.36) I have some clue.

What other fish do you have in the tank?

2 Male Guppies
5 Female Guppies
1 male Platy
5 female Platy

hi big fish ,if you are thinking of getting corys, they dont like being on their own, best in groups. however i've got two albinos together and they are happy together, only one panda cory left tho ,the other one dissappeared.but he playes with the albinos all the time, could be because albinos and pandas are related. great fun to watch them playing.. pebbles
