Here are a few pictures of my new 400l cory tank. How many cories would you say I can keep in here with the aim of conditioning and growing.

The only other fish in the tank are 25 neons 25 cardinals and a pair of BN

Kind of deep for a grow out tank. But number is hard to say? You all ready have a lot of fish in there. Are you going to put more of any other type or is that the extent of non-cories. I all ways go with less is more, so I would low ball it, which is probably not an answer you are looking for!

That is all of the non cories that will go in. This is not a growing tank for fry I use a 120l tank for that this is more sub adult conditioning. It is 5x2x2 depth of water just over 20 inches

O sorry! By grow out I thought you were speaking of fish half inch or 1cm.

nice looking tank.. what is all in there??? i see c. melini, c. panda and not sure of the others... C131??

melini,schwartzi, c131 and pandas. Well spotted especially from that picture. There are six of each except the C131 in which I could only get five.

well.. i do stare at corys several hours a day.. should be half decent in recognizing them by now..

and i am sure they will be happy in there and hopefully spawning not too far down the road. c. melini look close to the right size for spawning. anyways.. good luck with them and keep us posted.

p.s.
you can never post enough pics these days.. we all love them...

I would say you would be comfortable with another 8 or 10, but I would be wary of the
C. panda in a mixed community like that as they are known for getting it together with other species.
