Peppered cory catfish in 10 gallon tank

[Pepper8304]

I'm having 4 peppered cory catfishs in a 10 gallon tank. I read that they can grow up to 3". I also read that they need at least 6 of em in the tank to be active, otherwise they will be shy. Should I put 2 more in my tank( my tank have only peppered cory catfish)?

I think 5 in a 10 gallon would be a bit overstocked. A group of 5-7 would do well in a 20 long. Then they could have some tank mates.

If you say 5 is a bit overstocked, I won't put anymore in my tank. I love Cory Catfishs, If I have an opportunity to buy another the tank for my cory; I will buy a 150 gallon tank. Thank you for your replying!

The amount of corys per tank all depends on your filtration capacity and cleaning regimen, IMO. I personally would add a couple more, I have 6 to 10 corys per 10G breeding tank. I just make sure I do my weekly water changes and have adequate filtration

I change 25 % of my fish tank water every 2 days. My tank has a filter that can be put in a 20 gallon tank.

Sounds great! Not all filters are the same but you'll be able to tell if it's not doing the job, you can always add another filter happy fish keeping
