How many Pygmaeus?

Currently have 7 Pygmaeus corydoras in a 10g with some ramshorn snails. No other fish.

Curious how many could fit comfortably? Theyre so so tiny

Pygmies stay small, and I tend to overstock. I'd put at least 15 in that tank.

... but then again, I tend to overstock.

Cheers, Eric

10 g, not UK - some 35 liters?

In 35 liters, I'd keep it on 10, not 15.

How many regular sized cories can you keep in a 10 or 15 gal tank?

I have 12 adult venezuelanus in a 10 gallon.

Thanks guys!
Decided to keep the 7 as they are (but if they breed its fine) and adding 2 sparkling gourami... making it a nano tank
