	25 gallon tank...
T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	I'll be setting up a 25 gallon(30"x12.5"x16" ) in a couple months. I want to move some of my current fish into this tank. And possible add something else. I already have 6 Zebra Danios, 3 Platies, 4 Peppered Cories. And I'd like to add 6 Pygmy Cories. How's that sound? Last edited by T/A at 13-Feb-2005 21:13

The chances of that aren't good. Peppered Cories are sold at about 3/4" around here. I've been wanting Pygmy Cories for awhile now. So I'm very happy I can add them to this tank.

They'll grow to be big and healthy soon enough, and you are prolly one of the few people who realizes the size of the shoal they need to be in. I'd say go for it. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

T/A Mega Fish Posts: 942 Kudos: 1796 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	Alright, sounds good. I'm sure my Peppered Cories and Danios will enjoy this slightly larger tank. I'm so glad I can do this for them. Thanks for input, everyone!

In fact I've been told by one of the cory breeders on this site that they will often take them under their ...err well fin! Peppered corys are some of the larger ones so I'd actually suggest against a second school of corys, instead build up the peppers . ^_^ [hr width='40%']"Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness I need to calculate,what creates my own madness... and I am waiting for disaster"
