Nice ~ very refreshing and simple look
What camera and lens you using ?
Hi everyone. I'm new here. Just showing off my corydoras. Attractive and crazy active little fellas.
I now have 8, had 11 during holding 3 for my bf. It's overcrowded! Now I'm torn between having lesser corydoras or just buying the GEX Slim 600. Ahh the joyous pain of keeping cutesy little cory cats. Then another problem is where to put my 30cm tank.
It's a desktop tank which explains it's size. It's currently 30 x 15 x 20 (I know, I know. It's too small, and overcrowded. A few of them have been moved to a 2ft tank with a lot of other corys. No worries!) They seem to love the tank, swimming everywhere and being very active. I installed a bubble wall and they love to swim in it.
This was what the tank looked like initially. Hated the white gravel because it was too thick, all the sinking wafers got stuck! Bought finer gravel instead. I know I should buy fine river sand but it's too troublesome. They seem to like the red gravel though.

Corys are cute little creatures and they are a joy to watch!

Nice and simple. And when I say simple its not in a bad way. It's pleasing to look at.
I do have Corys. 2 kinds. The Panda and I forgot the name of the other. They look great in 4-6 as they do crowd together.
Thumbs up.

The other fishes. Sorry for picture quality, taken with Galaxy SII
New fatty from c328. Currently the big boss of the tank. Looks like a submarine compared to the rest.
Can anyone help ID this species? Clueless. Looked around quite a bit without a result.

Super hardworking Zebra Nerite from c328. Stabbing myself for not buying one more. Hoping they'll restock soon!
It's official. I'm getting the 600mm tomorrow
My mom's gonna kill me.
Hello good to see you around here. Guess you know who I am (:
you might want to try out sudo bottom sand as you would be able to see the cories sift and stir the sand looking for food. Also becareful with that snail as they tend to climb out of the water.
Yes I do know who you are haha.
The sand would be too much for me to handle! Maintenance.
Managed to ID this cory

Just a fair warning for you. Snail eggs are hard to get rid of, and can be real unsightly. So you might have to be prepared to see some popping up over the next couple of days.

I'm hoping not!! Scrape scrape scrape hahaha.
Hi everyone.
I bought the EJA 600 because the GEX one has 4 siliconed sides. I prefer 'panoramic' so I went with the EJA.
Tank is now 26L with sand substrate. The fishes are in because I had no choice but to put them inside due to lack of space at home, had to remove the whole small tank entirely.
I'm using the old filter + the new filter + some older coral chips though. My panda became pale today morning but all of the rest seemed alright. He is still active as well.

Hi, nice and simple setup! Question on corys, possible to use fine sand as substrate?

Just make sure the sand is SUDO decorative sand and not coral sand which alters pH

SUDO? What's that? Sorry, new here. Anw I shouldn't be worried abt corys consuming the sand?

The corys love fine sand (: they filter it thriugh the gills. Fine sand is also their natural substrate in the rivers. There's a type of sand called river sand. Most lfs sells them. Shouls be between $14 and 16 for a 5kg pack. It has a picture of corys on them.
Oh.. I see. Thanks!

I also can't bear to see my Corys gushing in all the hard grit throught their gills.
But these adorable little catfishes have been naturally evolved to that behaviour. They could have along the way smartly discovered that worms could be found underneath the dirt on the river bed, and so they evolved their own set of tasting organs for that task.
LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
I recently gave away a bunch of my favourite Cory Sterbais to a friend as I have no time to pamper them the whole day.
Also because I had difficulty getting fresh Tubifex for them reguarly. Tubifex after being kept for a few days are not healthy for fish to eat, as most of the worms would be unhealthy and dying or diseased.
Those Corys only think of worms and nothing else. They just ignore, spit out all other dried food after they have tasted live Tubifex once before.
They will be very unhappy without live worms, and it shows in their eyes.
