Need Advice

Oh yes in a 5 gallon you could do a betta and a quartet of pygmy cories. You'd be at your stocking limit but you could do it.

I recommened either getting a bigger tank or going with the above post. I live in Riverton and there is a good store called Tropical Fish Wholeslae in Draper. You should try to go there. There fish are healthy and the people know what there talking about and can give you more advice.

Just know that pygmy cories are somewhat fragile. I'm down to 6 out of about 15.
If you're going for pygmies, wait till your tank is established, and then keep up with the water changes. Cories are awesome!

That would look real nice.
If you didn't want to be that tightly stocked you could bump the cories down to 2. I know they like to be in schools but I have just 2 pepper cories and they do fine. But if pygmy's are hard to keep alive like Emmanuel says then you may want to start with 4 and hopefully at least a couple will live.
