Cory Tank

[jollysue]

Some time back I posted some pics of 15 cories I got from BetterBetta. The tank is more presentable now, and I thought I'd share it. It has twenty-one cories and a temporary cockatoo resident. It is a 40 long.

The residents are 5 each of Virginae/Sangama, leucomelas, Pulcher Variant #3, and 6 bronze (from the local lfs.)

Now the thing is, the tank decore hides more than it shows, which is, I think, how the cories and the cockatoo like it.

So here is the Atlantis Cory Tank:

This Brigi Apple snail has layed a nice clutch in this tank for me

The little bronze are the very boldest cories I have seen. I have 11 varieties of cories now, and the bronze are right out front and not easily startled into hiding when there is food to be had.

Hi jollysue

What an interesting tank you have!

I always did like a well decorated tank and I bet the corys like all the hiding places in there too. They are such inquisitive little things! It should keep them busy exploring for a long time to come.

Hi jollysue

In addition to all the decorations, I like the fact that there is a lot of open room for the corys to congregate and swim. The bigger corys are strong swimmers and you will enjoy watching then travel the length of it.

Very nice tank. Im working on mine right now. I got it set-up and running yesterday. I got a piece of plastic looking wood thats full of little holes and stuff for them to go in and out of. Im going to leave the middle open for them I think. I got 6 Corydoras leucomelas, who are currently in my 30 gallon, about a week ago and they have yet to settle down, which tells me they like to swim

Tank looks good. I like seeing other tanks with lots of cories.

raeburter, the one in front is the Coradoras virginae/Sangama. So there are some variations, I guess, according to where they are from. The Sangama part is the area where he was capured. I got him from BetterBetta. You can see him posted at AB or on BetterBetta.com/BlueBettaUSA.com. I grow more fond of him all the time. They are striking with those groups.

Of course the ones to the rear in the fourth pic are bronzes. I can never remember how to spell their correct name, aneus or something.

Yes, Inchworm that is a good tank for them, long and low. And they do dash in a large 10+ group across and back over the length of the tank. I think they like the tank.

The Pulchers always stick their nose in everything and it is a long nose! So they skin it often. They are always trying to pry and move something with their noses to get the stray worm.
