Corycat Bioload

[thespiffymonkey]

I'm thinking about starting up a community tank with a betta and some corycats,
I was thinking albino...
I was just wondering if anyone knew offhand how big albinos get and their estimated bioload. I know that Bettas are 3 inches, or so.

does that make sense....?
Thanks

Yeah, they count as 2" of fish on the bioload. They're pretty small but like to be kept in groups so I hear.

Thanks ACK,

So in a ten gal I could keep a betta and three corycats.
Would three be a big enough group?

Three should be fine...I have 4 in two of my tanks, but one group was at 3 for a while and they were okay

Yeah, that's what I did. I have one betta and 3 Otos (Otocinclus) Works out just fine. The otos count as 2" of fish each too.
