Cory And Tank Height

[2excitedkids]

Is it true that corydoras are air breathers and therefore shouldnot be in a tank over 60cm high ? Mine is now a 90cm high aquarium!!

Not really, they do go up to the surface for oxygen every now and again but certainly not like a Betta.

Thank goodness for that ...I was really worried- they are my favourite and have moved them to a bigger home and better substrate!

Im cycling a 4ft x 18" tank for some atm, its down to preference really as they stay on the bottom mostly anyway.

Hi 2excitedkids

It's the cory fry you'd have to worry about, or so I've read. But as Cooper2085 the adults would be fine.

Cheers.
