rodsboys Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Just looking for some opinions/suggestions.I have a 135 6'x 18" and my only bottom feeders are cories.How many do you think I can keep comfortable?Can and should I keep more than one species and how many of each would you suggest?I currently have 10 corydoras aeneus 6 regular/4 albino.

jvision Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 In a tank that size you could easily fit a couple of schools of a dozen each. Most Corys get to between 3-5". You could go with a different species for the other school, or go for another color morph of C. aeneus. They probably won't breed in normal conditions, so there isn't much of a worry of crossbreeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Depending on what else you have in there, I would suggest that three schools of 7-9 each would be quite reasonable...the third school (as mentioned) could be another species to allow for some visual variety.

tetras_corys_loaches_oh_my Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 corys breed like wildfire with the right conditions which are easy to get. i have a bunch, and, really, the only thing they seem need is temperature fluctuation. (as she watches them lay eggs all over the glass as she types) want any bronzes? I'll have a bunch in 5 minutes *LOL* last time i got 60 fry... have a set of peppers that I am waiting to let lay... ack... (watching ~2~ bronzes lay eggs) man... almost tempted to let the rainbow splendidas eat these... i so need a bigger grow out tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
