How many ?

[djarmstrong]

About how many Cory Catfish would you put in a 70Gal tank ?

I was thinking 15 - 20 .

depends on the rest of the stocking, i have 25 sterbai in my 75g with my discus.

Common bronze or green cory: minimum 4 maximum 10.

I am no expert, but have always kept cory's.
Great choice.

I have 13 in my 125. The only thing you have to watch out for is tankmates... if I had any more, they would probably starve, because of my loaches. I have to feed them at a separate time, after lights-out, because the loaches eat so much.

Its going to be a planted tank with fish like ~

Clown Pleco
Twig Catfish
Whiptail Catfish
Cory
Cherry Barb
Lemon Barb
Rosy Barb
Pearl Danio
Zebra Danio
Silver Hatchet
Marble Hatchet
Harlequin Rasbora
Emerald eye Rasbora
Alsort of Tetras ( Eg. Bleeding heart , Black Phantom , Flame , Penguin , Serpea , Ect ) .
Rainbow Fish
And others if i can .

i am just trying to get ideas on how many of each i should get . I dont think i will get all them fish listed , just a good choice of them .

Any other help would be great , by saying how many of each i should get please .

Thanks for the help so far .

it depends. For bronze cories i would do 12-15. for pygmies you could do 30+. also buy the type of fish that suits your tank best, like dont buy pygmies or the coldwater varieties if its a monster tank or a tropical tank. good luck!
