I'm thinking about adding one more bronze cory to my tank.
Here's what I have so far: 1 male swordtail, 2 female platies, and 1 bronze cory in a 5 gallon tank.
If I followed the 2 inch per gallon rule then I am permitted 10 inches.
I've read that swordtails can grow up to 2.7 in, platies up to 1.6(x2), and bronze cory to 2 in(x2). If I added the inches all together with cory I want to buy, it equals 9.9 inches.
Should I buy the guy? I've read that cories are quite sociable and I don't want it to be lonely.
I'm also willing to do more water changes if need be.
