I'm planning on getting a school of corys for my 15gal with one Betta, but wanted some advice.

Can anyone in Australia give me the names of commonly avaiilible species that will fit in the tank? I've seen a few types around, but never enough for a school.

Are algae wafers and shrimp pelets alright to feed them?

What sort of decor is best for Corys? There's already small gravel, but do they prefer caves or plants to hide around?

Thanks guys. Any other advice is helpful too!

Cories will eat any food that falls to the bottom of the tank, but yes, they love algae wafers and shrimp pellets. Cories like a bit of cover for the time they do rest, (not often) so a few plants, and a cave would be great.

Caves & Plants are Ok for Corydoras & any sinking food will be eaten by them. They prefer small rounded gravel & the most common Corydoras are Bronze, Albino & Peppered.
