Replace/mix Corys?

[homerhotspur]

Got 3 Leopard Corys about 6 weeks ago. Really liked them. Unfortunately one never really grew and died. I am now wondering whether I should replace it with another of the same type. If I can't find one, would it be OK to buy a similar Cory such as a Sterbai?

Well, 3 of them to begin with is not enough. They like to shoal in groups of 5 or more. At this point if you can't get another one (go for 4) of the same species it really doesn't matter. If you want more Cories then go out and buy 6 of whatever you like.
