Best setup for corydoras

I’d say stick with the corys, but that’s me, I have such a soft spot for them, and the sterbais are sooo pretty
But ultimately it’s up to you - if you want to try something new then give it a shot. What’s your heart telling you

My heart is doing a Billy Idol impression - With a rebel yell she cried MORE MORE MORE ))
More tanks, more fish (recently more dogs idea came up) just more !


I will go for more corydras, I can always move them back to the 360l which I am remaking and can do the apistogramma later. As for paleatus/sterbai, I will see what is available and go from there.

So the tank is finished. It is not just corydoras, it is slightly overstocked and for the funniest reason, except todays newest additions (paleatus), it houses all of my oldest fish that I currently have, all of them are around 3 years old, even the bamboo shrimp. The only older thing I have right now is my 6 year old Nerite
4 sterbai corydoras, 5+1 paleatus corydoras, 5 ember tetras (btw all females), 5 marthae hatchetfish. 2 bamboo shrimp, but 1 adult tylomelania snail and 4 babies!!! I gave all of them away and somehow still found more in all the tanks, so four it is ... sigh

Fish me luck it brings me joy

Hatchet fish are so weird

Agree. I call them my lampions. They mostly just hover but i feed a lot of live and include them in the feeding and they are amazing hunting mosquitos, bbs or fruit flies

When the sun hits it just right



So far the tank is superb, the paleatus are active, the sterbai are active and I am in love. Will see if it lasts

Looking amazing! It's great when you can get natural light shining on a tank. For about 20 minutes each evening depending on the season, I get the sunset on my 60L. Really brings out the colours of the fish.
