40 breeder stocking

I would like to have silver dollars and some corys in there,but dont know how many or if it would even work im so use to having just cichlid tanks..also suggestions on any other combos would be great.

 

[pudgeking]

well i don't foresee any compatibility issues with the silver dollars and corys, and the tank size is fine.

Yeah to cories stay on the bottom while the silvers are mostly on the top

 

[bigriver]

I was thinking 4-5 silver dollars and 5-6 cory's and maybe one colorful fish? it will have sand bottom and driftwood with rocks ..filtered by a sunsun 265..rated for up to 70 gallons and a marineland 350 bio wheel

Don't silver dollars need 50 gallon aquariums????
