How many kuhli loaches can live in...?

My 10 gallon tank? It is fully cycled, has a heater with the temp set at a steady 78, has a filter with a 180gph flow, and is heavily planted?

There is a cave in the tank which is a foot long, so they will have a good place to hide, and the bottom layer of the tank is covered in sand.

Flora: Cyperus helferi, dwarf hairgrass, staurogyne repens, anubias nana, hornwort, and java ferns

Fauna: One plakat male betta

    3 to 4 Pygmy cory would be ok if your Bettas temperament is ok .

    5, there's a lot of confusion about tank size for this species. 10 gallons is the absolute minimum for them. You should be fine, they're a small fish with a relatively low bio load
