Corydoras Decoration Need Help !

Post by umutumut »

I need help with Cory tank decoration. Where i live is wood is so expensive and pleco cubes, rocks is so cheap. So i draw whats in my mind.

There will be cave to corys, ill put 3 flat rock (with 3 enter space) then ill put pleco cube against them, so cubes will be cave to plecos and behind the flat rock will be cave to corydoras.

Is that good idea? Pleco cubes and rocks are %100 natural. Tank is 100x40x50, this big cave probably will be 100x10x20h size.

On youtube there are quite a lot of videos of Cories in the wild to give you an idea of their natural habitat.

Here is one that shows one of the species I keep, fast-forward to about 3:00 for the good bits:

The sandy habitat is I think most preferred, but some live in rocky areas too.
Hiding places and refuges from the flow are a good idea.
I don't see any physical problem with your plans (as long as the rocks are inert) but it won't be like a real habitat.
Hope that helps a bit?
