how many corydoras?

[ChrissyFishy]

I found 3 albino corydoras today but they didn't have more than that. Is it ok to have 3? I don't want them to be unhappy.:no: I have room for more if I find more later.

Do corydoras need alot of algae like plecos?

Cories don't eat algae. But they do appreciate some veggies in their diet. Make sure the bottom wafers you feed have enough plant matter in them.
Three is ok... but if you have room, more is always better with cories. They're very social fish!
Also make sure you have a soft substrate (3/4" of sand is best, gravel is outright bad) that will be easy on their barbels (the little whiskers under their chin). The store should double-bag them... make sure they have healthy barbels and that they don't get caught in the net; many cories get damaged this way.
