How many Cories?

[T/A]

I am currently setting up another 10 gallon for my Betta. I also want to put my 2 Peppered Cories in the new tank and even add a few more. How many Cories could be added without over filling the lower part of the tank? No other fish will be in this tank, just the Betta and Cories.

I have 5 in my 10 but only 1 is full sized. How many are you thinking of? Id say 3-4 maximum to keep them all comftorable.

Yep...I agree with depth. If you add 2 or 3 more in addition to the 2 you have, plus the betta, and you'll have one happenin tank

OK thanks for replies.
I WAS thinking 3 more(5 total). But for the sake of swimming room, I'll go with just 2 more(4 total). Plus the less fish that are in with the Betta, the better.

Depends on the size of the cories. I have a bronze cory that is 3 inches from tip to tip that is full grown. But I have 2 albino cories that I have had for a long time that are full grown and they are about 2 inches. I also have a leopard cory that is 2 inches full grown.

I have a ten gallon with 4 cories and a betta. Every fish gets along well. I wouldnt want anymore fish in that tank than that.

Yesterday I got 2 more Peppered Cories. Now both of my 10 gallon tanks are completely finished(except for one plant that is on backorder). As soon as I get a chance I will post pictures in the "Rate My Tank" section.

about how much did it cost to put your tank together?

Both of my 10 gallons cost roughly $70 each for everything including fish.
