Im not sure if this is against protocol but I had three in a 5g when Enigma was in his smaller quarters with them and they were happy larries, always out and about snuffling around. There are three in my sisters 170 litre and they are never to be seen.. (partly as I think they feel insecure). I personally think it would be fine (filtration is the key) but someone else may have a different view.

One thing to note. When I moved the khulis to the cube divided tank, the smallest would end up in any old slot (though mine are homemade dividers) just something to be aware of!

No worries hon, may wish to gain more views, I think the stocking is suitable with weekly changes and have only gone on personal experiences. best of luck!

Section 1= Oscar betta & 6 pygmy cories
