ApynAquarist Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I have a 9 gallon tank that I used to keep my male betta in. He died a few months ago and I emptied the tank to take to my new house. I decided I want Pygmy/panda corys. I have no idea how many corys I should get though. I don’t want to overcrowd the tank but I don’t want a too small group. Also, what tank mates would go well with Pygmy/pandas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 For a 9 I don’t recommend pandas. They will be fine when young but they get a touch to big and are to active for a 9 plus they breed like crazy. Pygmy I would do a group of 10. I kept 10 in a 10 and as they bred it went to 20. They didn’t have an issue but at 20 they became so active I upgraded them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApynAquarist Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Thanks for the information I didn’t know what was overcrowding and what was not a big enough group. As for tank mates, I like the look of rasboras but have never kept them! I don’t like tetras that much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 For anything smaller (20 Long being smallest recommended) I would do 6-8 as a start. As mentioned, they breed pretty regularly. Something like dwarf Corydoras would be my choice though. Hasbrosus, hastatus, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
