Hello all, I’m brand new here and in need is some advice. I set up a new tank, a 15 gallon Aqueon column. I’m aware of cycling new tanks and have that part under control. While I’m new to this site (and Cory cats for that matter) I’ve been running Betta tanks and cichlid tanks for years so I’m not completely in the dark with fish care.
However! That being said I may have goofed already. I went to a fish store I don’t normally go too in search of some Cory cats that were a little different (I see albinos and peppereds all the time). I found some emeralds and loved them so I got 2 to start. I planned on adding more of them and or a couple albino in the future. Now originally I assumed my tank would be ok for a group of 4 someday, as all I was going to add to it was a Betta. But then I do the research I should have done before buying the emeralds and realized they are much bigger than a typical Cory. Unfortunately I can’t upgrade my tank just yet but will eventually have a 75gal to put them in. I just don’t know when that will be.
Will they be ok in this tank for a while?
Should I go ahead and get more? If I’m getting more what should I get?
I feel awful I got the larger ones, I thought all Cory’s were about the same size. Can anyone give me some advice?
Sorry this is so long, I just hope I got everything in here. Please let me know if there is any more info I need to give you. Thanks in advance.
