I would suggest you use your 5G to make a planted shrimp tank (it really is the perfect size for shrimp) and look at a larger set up for your cories (they like to be in shoals of 4 or more, just fyi) | Thanks for the response. Petsmart's signing said they only need 1 Gallon and only get 2-3 inches big at most. Are you sure about that? Also we probably won't go with anything bigger since we just spent a bunch of bucks on this one...we'll just have to make this one work. What if we got rid of the serpaes and got a couple more catfish (assuming they really don't get above 2-3 inches at most)? That would be a total of 4 fish in a 5 gallon tank, sticking to the 1" of fish to 1 gallon of water rule (if that still applies).
