Requierement for breeding cory

Post by iyulian »

hi...

i'm iwan from indonesia
i'm a new member here...

i want to breed cory sterbai, and i already had a tank (100 X 50 X 40 in cm), 37 sterbai size M, and aerator.

i would like to know any other requierement to breed cory
- do i need a filter? what kind of filter i should use?
- do cory need gravel? what should i use? silica sand? little rocks?
- do i need plants in my tank? or any other things, like bogwood?
sorry for such questions, i believe there are some answers in the forum already but it would be difficult to find it from all the topics in the forum

thanks a lot :D

regards,

iwan

37 sterbai is too many for your tank. I would use a filter on the tank especially if you have 37 fish. Corys do better with a substrate of fine sand of gravel. A few plants and bog wood would be fine.

if they are too small, you just should wait until they got mature.
