Corydoras Species tank setup for pepe2403

[pepe2403]

Cool. Now i got another crazy plan going on in my head.
Actually kind of nice to see the same species schooling together in a tank.Better get that idea out of my head before i get more tanks

Wow! Very nice! Can share how big is the tank? And how many panda cory do you have inside? Is it kind of overcrowded?

[jwuog]

Eh...benny, pepe2403 just said better get that crazy plan of his out of his head, and then you posted a nice image of a school of corys ...

[pepe2403]

Well i wouldn't mind a nice cory only setup somewhere in my home. Looks like i should get rid of the 'rojak' cory tank and convert it into a species tank like what benny just shown me.

[benny]

Ok. I'm sorry. I apologise. I must be tired after a long day.

But in the unlikey event that you are interested, you can easily do up a small 1 ft setup with 6 fishes. Pick those that don't grow too big. Set up is just riversand or rounded gravel with some plants on driftwood. Whole thing can be planned and setup in a jiffy.

Here's a selection of species previously available locally.

Many thanks for all the advices and photos. Really make my day seeing such beautiful photos and setups.

How big a school are you looking at? I've seen a picture from a magazine of a school of around 30 Sterbai in a fairly large tank, maybe 3ft and above. Very impressive. If you have a small tank like a 2ft, maybe you can go with 15-20 C.Pygmaeus or 6 of any of the regular sized species.

Benny you bad!! Now I get poison also already.

[pepe2403]

All in my mind, was a 3ft tank filled with C. sterbai since early this morning......... Control control, must exercise self control. If not my place going to turn into a mini LFS again.

You asked for a species setup?
benny happily provides "posion picture" of setup.
Followed by beautiful and wide selection of species.
All the better for you to place in your mind for the "perfect cory species tank"!


@ benny,
Wow the C. napoensis is a beauty.
I suppose these are not easy to come by locally.

3ft C.sterbai tank will look great!

I think 20 should be a good number.

[luenny]

I'm getting there, I'm getting there. I have 11 c. sterbai in my 2.5 feet tank now. Just need to breed them some more and remove the rest of the fishes.

[benny]

Corydoras napoensis is currenly available at C328 if I'm not wrong. They are very active fishes and will also swim in the mid levels of the tank. Very nice! One of my favorites!! Now I feel like going to get 20 pieces for my tank! You guys are terrible.

Cheers,

[celticfish]

Save some for me benny!

[pepe2403]

I think i will stick to c. sterbai. I like the pattern and also the goldish colouration on the fins. Now i got to think of a way to offload the others which i am having.

[benny]

I love them too!



Especially the big round ones.

Cheers,

[pepe2403]

Benny! You very bad hor! Make me cannot sleep tonight.

[benny]

Opps. Sorry. Since you are not asleep yet. Let me share with you the albino variant of the Corydoras sterbai.



Cheers,

[illumnae]

i think the original version looks cuter =) the albino at sucha close up looks like a monster! are sterbais supposed to have the yellow tinge throughout the body benny? the ones in my fiancee's tank only have the yellow fins
