Your tank will look better, and be a bit more entertaining that way, especially with the cories. Also, keeping only fish that like the same type of water will be better, as John mentioned. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
