Thanks for advise Bas Pels! To be honest I thought that they are ok. They’ve been feeding once per day. Obviously have to focus on their feeding.
Bas Pels, what diet do you provide to your coryes?

The competition for food is very furious.

Hi everyone!
Let me show you the current situation. At the moment from 10 corydoras left only 5, I don’t know why, could be because of age or some disease. Anyway I maintain good parameters of the aquarium water and all of inhabitants look happy, no stress, good appetite.
Here a picture of the tank ...

Just let me add, that type of snails are doing very well with the coryes

Quick update
Not too much changes, all of fish are ok, the plants are growing slowly.

Hello,

sounds good, does it require frequent cleaning?
I like your bucephalandra spp., do you use any kind of fertilizer?


Cheers,
Lisa


Hi Lisa!
I clean up my tank once of week. The nano tank is around 4 months old and the first couple of months I changed weekly 80-90% of water and because ...

Hi Lisa!
From your info given to us it seems that you are very familiar with taking care of corydoras catfish. My personal opinion about your way of feeding with life and frozen food is that the small crustaceans organisms are part of corydoras natural menu, the best menu. Although it is good from ...

Welcome to catfish forum Lisa!
Good food choice for your corys. I would suggest another great corydoras food- Hikari Sinking Waffers.

Hello,

wow, that's quite a nice tank! What kind of filter do you use?

Cheers,
Lisa

Thank you Lisa!
My nano tank is with its original juwel internal tank on the right side. It does great job indeed- some bio sponge and bio-rings in take care of the biological filtration. Well, the only minus ...

Hi everyone!
Just a small update. I started this nano Corydoras tank (18 gallons) 3+ months ago. So far everything is going well except my corys really likes to stay hidden under the plants.
The pistia plants make the tank darker so it's not easy to take a quality picture but the real view is ...

Thanks!

Hi guys!
There is a picture for comparison with white sand and if someone post a picture with black or dark sand so you will have better idea about your sand preferences.

Thanks Eric!

Ok folks, these are the last pictures for this topic.

Feeding time for some of the corys :) the others are hiding somewhere between the plants.

The barbels are getting much better, almost ...

Ok, just to add some info about my tank. So everything is going not too bad so far except I lost 3 of my 5 shrimps. The water parameters are perfect but I think the reason is that weekly I usually change 70-80% of the tank water and that is absolutely dangerous for shrimps, unfortunately I found out ...

Thanks Eric, appreciate!
At the moment there are 10 Corydoras in 17/18 gallon tank, I wish I can put more but I afraid it will be overstocked.

Quick update. Today changed the lighting tube suitable for fish and plants. So far everything is going well.

What's the current situation in my nano tank- as I planned I put some Shrimps, only 5, and 3 Red Pearl Ramshorn Snails.
Well I choose Red Rili Shrimps simply because they are tough enough, not demanding compared to Red Crystal Shrimps which requires special conditions.
So that are my first shrimps ...

Hi corydoras keepers!
I don't want to open a new topic so I'll continue here, hope it is ok!
So my nano tank is around 20 gallons but clearly 17/18 gallons of water. So at the moment I have 10 cory fish but I am planning to put 5 red crystal or 5 red liri shrimps, plus 3 pink pearl ramshorn snails ...

Thank you Eric!

Thanks Marlon!
Probably I will add another couple of plants- bucephalandra plant, similar to anubias and also hopefully in 2-3 months half of the top of my tank will be covered with pistia plants, the roots make the vision so natural as well as this root cover gives some sense of protection to cory ...

Quick update.
So, the barbels of these particular corydoras are recovering well :) Everything is normal so far, they are active, eating well.

Wow, your tank is incredible! Great job! The sand is natural looking and the plants are green without any algae. That idea with the roots is really clever. With other words it's really comfortable place for Corydoras fish.
Soon I'll re-arrange my tank- well, it will look pretty the same interior ...

Actually about the hiding places for my Corys (which is mandatory for this type of fish) I have an idea- well my tank is nano tank 17/18 gallons with 10 Corydoras which means that it is almost over stock. If I put more woods and rocks means that I will take more space, more volume in the tank which ...

Thank you for your advices Marlon!
I check out about dr.Bassleer's products, great stuff indeed but it's probably new brand and still missing in UK and Ireland, online the postage from Germany is minimum 12.90£ which means two/three times more expensive than the fish food itself. Hopefully soon ...

Oh, I forgot to add- usually I feed my Corydoras with frozen artemia, Hikari sinking wafers and with Northfin pellets for cichlids lol, they love it, plus some flakes for catfish. I'm interested about dr. Bassleer bio, antibacterial fish food, sounds quality food for Corydoras.

Thanks Marlon, that is really useful info for me! By the way, your Corydoras are looking excellent!

Here is a picture of my Corydoras tank ;)

Hi everyone!
Just a quick question :)
Recently I bought 10 Corydoras fish- 4 Corydoras Melanistus, 4 Corydoras Sterbai and 2 Corydoras Adolfoi. They are in 17-18 gallons fish tank with good water parameters, white soft sand, microsorum plants and no any other inhabitants. All they are active, eating ...
