Can I put my last Cory into my 55?

[allaboutfish]

I had 3 Cory's in my 30 gallon breeder with pea pebbles and each of them died. They lost all of their barbels. I thought the pea pebbles were OK but I guess not. Can I move him to my 55 with
6-angels
1-festivum
3-syno petricola.
1-mustard spotted pleco
1-gbr
To me there seems like I have enough floor room from looking at the tank and I have 3 filters on the tank plus its planted and heavily aquascaped.

I would imagine it would be fine. I'd just try to get him some companions.

How many would I have room for?

I would get at least 3 more. You want a minimum of 4. You have room IMO.

Would I have room for a full 6?

I'd imagine so.

Just make sure you keep up with maintenance

Usually cories losing their barbels is a result of poor water conditions or bad bacteria in the substrate, not large substrate size. When you have cories, you have to keep the substrate very clean.
