Re: L340 - keeping them a little colder?

Thanks for the replies guys. I will have to see if I can move these guys to a different tank, rehome them or get an additional heater (my current heater cannot seem to increase the temperature above 24 degrees at full power due to water volume).

Thanks for the quick replies! My cory's already spend much of the time on the sand, especially because that is the place where I feed them (sinking tablets, bloodworms etc), and they are sifting through it to find scraps long afterwards. When they are resting they move onto the gravel to hide ...

Sandpatch enough for cory's?

IMG_1262.JPG Hi I am Ramon and recently set up a tank (150L) with a group of seven Corydoras trilineatus. I divided the Tank in an open sand patch (1/3 of total substrate coverage) surrounded by large rocks to avoid mixed substrates. Outside of this open patch I have a planted substrate layer of ...
