Getting my new Corys tonight for a really good price!

And last night i got myself a Barbatus, it's a small one, but its by far my favoritt fish at the moment!

Anybody have some Barbatus also?

have kept and bred scelromystax(corydoras)barbatus on e thing that you must take into consideration is that they don't like it too warm for any length of time around 69-72f is pretty much ideal but in the wild they go much lower

I don't know what is ideal, but i keep my water at 23-25 celcius.

Thats to low.
But i think it can manage to be in those temps til christmas.

I'm getting a 100 liter fish tank.

It can stay there. I'm thinking of using that tank to raise plants or just have it as a planted tank.
