Which Cory is the best?

Which type of Cory is the best to put in my 15 gallon tank with my Glowlights and Cherries? I'm thinking to get 1 only as I'm afraid my tank would be overstocked! Please help.

if your gonna get one dont get any at all, they love to be in groups, 2 would be better but then you would be overstocked

Well, it is true I'd be overstocked if I get 2 but I need one so it can eat the left over food. Any other fish you can suggest?

Panda Cories only get to be 1.8" to 2" long, as opposed to most others which grow to 3". So you might be able to squeek by with 2.

I just have one bronze cory in my 10 gal with 5 cherry barbs and he is doing just fine! He is all over the tank all of the time digging in every little nook and cranny just to find a little snack. I think they can live on there own just fine.

It would be better to feed a little less than buy a fish your going to have to feed anyway to clean up left over food. Does that make sense Corys love to be in groups, so with one you wouldn't see their natural behaviour.

These guys are super easy to feed and take care of. If you have a good filter, you can probably get 3 or more(they enjoy each other's company), you don't have that many fish. If you think it's overstocked, i'd get 1 spotted bronze cory, they're cool.

Bronze Cory? Sounds nice. I'll check it out. Thanks Butters!

Thanks Carol. I wish I could fit a group of Corys in my tank, too bad it'll be overstocked.

Thanks Gilbert! It's too bad I can't get 3, my tank would be overstocked.
