I wouldn't keep the Corydoras in a small tank. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

I would suggest you return the Oto (do you have it to help you with algae?) and, depending on the footprint of your tank, add 2 or 3 more Cories to it. What are your tank dimensions? Is it planted? Is it cycled? Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

I do have the oto to combat algae, but I think i could get by without it. If I return the oto can I get 3 more corydoras? If can get the 3 corydoras, the fish list reads as so: 6 neon tetra 5 panda corydoras
