Adding cory cats to 29 gallon aquarium?
I fell in love with the cory cats a little while back, and Petco has some. At the moment they are being quarantined because a fish was put in their tank that had a fungus by accident, but even though the fungus is gone, they want to be safe and watch them for a bit longer. Would my tank be too crowded if I got three? They recommend getting them in groups of three...this is what I have so far:
Four Neon Tetras
Two Glowlight fish- the zebra danios with the jellyfish DNA that makes them the bright pretty colors
and Two Opaline Gouramis I think. They are gouramis and they have dark stripes with silver bodies and the stripes fade sometimes, then get dark again.
Would three cory cats be ok in a 29 gallon? And should I put anything else in there? I've got several live plants and plenty of places for everyone to hide, so everyone seems happy at the moment.
I had one other Glowlight, and it ended up dying. We originally got several fish from Petsmart...the only ones that lived were the tetras and the two glowlights. The gouramis are new to the tank.

Yea, it would! I have a 29 gallon tank too!! I have way more fish like 23 or something...none of the fish died except for one that jumped out of the tank! Also, I have Cory Cats in my aquarium too! They are really helpful little fish. When algae grows in your tank, they'll just eat it all for you instead of for you to clean it! But remember, when the algae runs out you'll need to feed them *algae wafers*.
Hope this info helps!! :)

hmmm, I would think 4 would be okay.
And you need more danios... Glo fish and regular zebras will school with each other.

I have 7 corydoras and they're awesome. :) They will sleep on plants, lean against decor etc... they can even move gravel. And if you have them for a while, they get big..
I know someone who's had 2 cory cats for... they don't even know and those are the thickness of two double A batteries side by side. so they get pretty big.

Also look into hikari sinking wafers... My corys love those the most. As do most of the other fish in the tank -.-
