Help For Newbies

[Floyds mum]

As a newbie corydora keeper i think it'd be a good idea if people post a pic of their set up, just to help out of course

YOu want piccys you asked for it!
Here is the community tank that houses gold perus and caudimaculatus:

This is a 96 litre cube, here is a whole half side for my mini pandas:

And the white sanded part onthis section has habrosus

Hope that helps!

Yeah that helps alot thanx, just had the idea as ive never really had them and just wondered what set ups are the best/ what set ups people have

Love the pics tho

Just seen you have gravel, do the corys seem ok with it?

The larger tank has dorest pea gravel (which is rounded small smooth pebbles). When I was setting the tank up asked if ok and some said should be on the larger cories. I have had no problems and had them since ohhhh october timeish now? I do inspect barbels etc daily to check no problems and they have been perfect. I will say though having seen the others react with sand, certainly would do this the second time round When it comes to the pygmy cories it is essential to have the sand. The breeding tank I hope to have going soon has coloured gravel and completely unsuitable, will be doing bare bottom or sand LOL Thanks for the compliment Im not the best with plants!

This is the tank, need to swap filter for a smaller one and add more sand but this is the basic.
