Why are you looking at minimum sizes.

[Oscar Betta]

anyone?

40 liters minimum. although the species listed will likely keep to themselves. i don't see much interaction there.

btw i think the frogs are gross. but that's me.

 

[Oscar Betta]

How many gallons is that?

 

[Curiosity101]

Albino Corydoras need at least 60l, they are significantly more active than most corydoras species. If you wanted some then 60l (60cm x 30cm footprint), is the very smallest you should go really.
60l is just under 16US Gal.

If you were go for pygmy corydoras then you could have them in a 40l (40l = 10.4US Gal).

However just generally speaking, you should be keeping more than 2 corydoras. A group of 4 should be sufficient to make them feel safe.

I'd say a ten gallon but you need at least 4 cories, they are a shoaling fish and are insecure alone and arn't very happy in 2's

 

[Oscar Betta]

Ok, thanks guys.

For leopard corys, would it be the same?

 

[Curiosity101]

Yep, 60l for leopard corys too.

Ok, thanks guys.

All cories like to be in groups. There are only a few pygmy cories that stay smaller like C. habrosus for instance. You can do with a smaller set up there

it's a funny things with those corries. i have 4, panda ones. they are totally adorable and my favourite fish, but i wonder about the schoaling thing. i would say that most of the time, they are each on their own, doing their thing, very actively sifting through sand and roaming the driftwood and plant leaves. when they cross paths they may stick together for a bit, until they part again. occasionally a pair stays closer together, while the other two wander around. generally they seems pretty happy and busy, and quite oblivious to their surroundings. and they definitely dont seem to be hang up on each other.

Pygmy cories are best because they stay a lot smaller. They prefer sand substrate and a mature tank. Mine are in with guppies and they get along VERY well. I'm not sure if I would put them in with a Betta! He may try to eat them.

Yeah, I was watching them at the pet store and they were doing that.
