      Buy more Corys....and just get the rest of the male congo tetras .... you need a much larger school of Congos for that tank and 6/9 is a perfect ratio.

    When it comes to leaving a few Congo males with the store...just take them all ! If they are new, you run the risk of loosing one or two,( doesn't that sound like a good reason ? ) So, when you go back for the other Cory's...get the rest of the males & if you need another point of validity... and you want to stay true with your math equations, just get a couple more females 😁 These babies get better with age, ( mine lasted to about 6 years.), so your investment now will be a huge payoff in time.
    Also, VERY IMPORTANT !!!.... the new fish need to be slowly acclimated to the chemistry of the water, along with temperature. Your Congo's look in shock because they probably are. Look up the drip method to get an understanding. Even a few digits off is enough to affect them, so take the extra step...your fish will thank you for it,
