Cory Sterbai In A 3Ftx1X1.5 Please Advise

[pheo]

Hey all im new to the forums but im here looking for some advice. I have a 300l (4ft) tank with 11 corydoras sterbai. A snowball plec. 2 bumbleecatfish 6panda barbs and a moonlight gourami(not my choice of fish. I rescued him for a 20l tank my grandad had him in!) so i am wanting to ajust the stock in my 300l. Iv just bought a 3ftx1ftx1.5ft high tank. I have not set the tank up yet but will be soon as i decide if i should move all my corys into a tank of there own. My 300l has a very good filtration system with lots of drift wood and plants. So enough of my babbling. What do you guys think i shoULD DO? keep the corys where they are? Or give them there own pad with a perfect seet up for thwm. Many thanks all please help me decide.

Why do you want to move them? If it's for breeding it's a good idea otherwise I'd let them in the 300L tank. You could try to rehome the fish you don't really like.

Well was just wondering if there be ok in the 3fter. Or will they be overcrowded

 

[DoubleDutch]

Don't think so, but they'll like the huge space in the 300 litre more !!!!!!!!!!

Do you have sand as substrate?

In my 300l no eco ccomplete. Therrle barbles are fine and they seem ok in there. Was gona set up the 3fter with sand. And why wouldnt they be ok in the 3ft one?

That's not what I am saying. They will be ok in the 3 ft. for sure. To me more space = more fun hahaha.
