Hi there

How many corys can I get to my new 80g?

I currently have 8 corys but I'd like to get more.

The Thank will be a comunity tank not only dedicated to corys.

Thanks
Miguel

What species are you looking for? Some grow larger than others (they range from three cm to eight cm), and you'll be able to have more of the smaller species. It also just depends on how many cories you want, and how many other fish you want to have.
Let me say that you can fit a fair amount of Corydoras in that tank, regardless of how you want to stock it.

Hi.

Currently in a 20g are 3 aneus albino, 2 Aneus, 1 Panda, 1 Swartzi, 1 Paleatus.

I think their all Small corys in adulthood. I was thinking on Giving the two Aneus to my Mother Aquarium and have a School of 6 each (aneus albino, Panda, Swartzi and Paleatus) but I'm not sure if it's too much.
If it happens to be to much maybe I'll give the paleatus to my grandfather who has already 3 of them.

What do you think 4 Schools of 6 or 3 Schools of 6 delevering the others to family?

If there are other options tell me please.

Try to get more Corydoras aneus Albino, Panda, Swartzi & Paleatus, so you can make them school. If you give some of them to other relatives, just add more of the others.

First it will depend on the rest of the total community. Once that figure is established SB should be able to give you a more accurate answer. You will have to make up your mind as to which Cories you want.
