Pygmy stocking rules?

[ozziegt]

Just wondering what you all feel the stocking rules are for pygmy cories? I'm thinking about restocking my 5g and was wondering if I could fit a proper school in it, but I don't know how big they get.

i think they get to about an inch, i've always read that pygmy cories espeically like being in schools, even more so than the larger cories. i guess if you were doing only pygmy's you could get 5 maybe 6. but if you want other fish o wouldn't any less than 3 in.

Well the only tankmake would be a betta and some shrimp I think. I would keep all the plants too.

shrimp don't really have much of bioload so 5 to 6 would work but just keep up with the water changes
