Panda Cories in 28l tank?

Can they be kept in there? I have four in there just now, more out of a necessity than anything else.

Had originally bought the 28l tank as a quarantine, but the Kribensis had been harassing the cories so I decided to move them where (I think/hope) they'll be more comfortable.

Just re-read this, so here's my revised answer as the last one was way off what was asked!

Without knowing the dimensions of the tank it's hard to say, but I would have thought that as Pandas are very active little guys, a 28l is probably too small. Although this database says a base of 35cm is okay, Seriously Fish recommends a minimum length of 45cm. This would most likely put the capacity at around 40l. However, I think in the short term they'll be a lot happier in there than in a larger tank with an angry Krib!

Beautiful little fish though, wish I had room in my tank for some!

They certainly seem happier. They're actually swimming about and being active as opposed to just sitting and hiding on a plant like they were in my main tank.

Slightly bigger tank would probably be better but having them happy in a smaller tank sounds better to me than having them in a bigger tank and being tormented daily by a Krib.
