Corydoras tank

My corys tank (mainly corydoras).
Unfortunately the quality is quit bad, in reality it isn´t that bright.

that's nonsense 10 of them .. corys are happy in groups of 2/3 they are not Tetra's etc I have 3 an Albino, Bronze and peppered they are happy together. I would say the most important thing for them is to have some driftwood in the tank. So SirForceMEDIA get your facts straight and change your nick .. what the hell is that supposed to mean LOL.

Having sand while good for Cory's is not essential, fine gravel works just as well .. adding sand to an existing aquarium = loads of mess :(

@redfanMark I think there are many different opinions on this topic - but it´s a fact that they´re normally living in a group of hundreds and I think 5-10 should be definitely the minimum. Afaik the ancistrus spec is happy about driftwood, so for corys it isn´t that important. They mainly need sand or fine gravel as you said. If you have both - sand and wood - everything should be alright, so I think i did my best.

@redfanMark and to my nick, I know this sirforce stuff sucks, but it´s damn old and actually I use it on the internet just as normal as my real name in RL^^

Few questions, im just getting started with a 20 gallon community tank, i have gravel right now but i am thinking of moving to sand since my 2 pandas dont seem to like it very much, what kind of sand do you have? is it like regular pool filter sand? and what kind of plants do you have? particularly the ones reaching up to the top, i currently only have 2 dwarf anubias but an looking for a more natural, and more live plants look, any info would be great. thanks! awesome music by the way :)

hey, corydoras love sand, because they like to burrow. gravel could hurt their barbels. i just bought simple sand from the building center, nothing special for the aquaristik.

I mainly planted Echinodorus amazonicus and Vallisneria gigantea, but meanwhile also Taxiphyllum barbieri.

I took log from the wood, but I´m living in the south of bavaria (ger) and here ist the pollution not so strong - so when you live in the near of a big town, I would buy wood from a aquaristik center.

At least a little tip, corydoras are group-specific and you should keep at least 10 of them.

hopefully i could help you a bit :)

@redfanMark Dude what are you talking about? Corydoras are schooling fish. You MUST keep them atleast in 4, but 6+ is HIGHLY recommended.

Very Nice! Betta's like, "Hey where's mine?"

[redfanMark]

BTW your Corys do look beautiful ... so good job there :)

@fishrailroad Depends on the wood. You must dry it first. Some woods are toxic. Safe woods include apple tree and 'manzanita', as far as ones that can be found in North America

[fishrailroad]

more live plants to see if that can help things out a little
