Cory's & tall tanks
I am setting up a 25 high tank for my platy's and blue danios and am wondering if it's to tall for cory's (they are currently all in a 10 gallon together). I really enjoy these wonderful little fish and would like to have them in my living room where I can watch them all the time. I know they have to race to the top to get air, similar to betta's, but they move much better than the betta's do. What do you all think, is it hard on cory's to be in a tall tank? I do have a 10 gallon that I could keep them in, it just wouldn't be in my living room.
Thanks,
Joanne

Re: Cory's & tall tanks
This has been discussed several times, and mature cories can certainly reach the surface of any tank for domestic use - you may get into trouble if you are thinking of public aquaria for sharks and such.
