tempratures
Posted: 22 Feb 2007, 01:26
I used the cat-e0log feature to compare temprature ranges, and all i get is C. leucomelas
i looked at the temp of my comunity tank (with a trio of C paleatus)and its around 28c (and has been for the past 2 years(maybey 3 not sure exactly when i got them) that i've kept this trio (there were 4, but 1 died to bacterial poisening that struck my tank)now i've been reading a lot more on Planet catfish and realise that corys like lower tempratures (none of this was ever mentioned in my fish books)
now i'm looking at sorting out my tanks a bit. the tank their in now is a 12" cube and is a bit overstocked (4 pencilfish(beckfordi) 1wcmm 1 female ram 3 corys) so their going to be moved to the juwel trigon that i have, but the temp in there is again going to be around 28c or so.
so heres my dilema,these peppered corys seem to be doing fine in the higher temps, but obviously intorducing more (i want a school of 9-10 corys in the juwel) wouldnt really work in there. but otherwise i havent really got a home for them.
i'm going to be stripping out the 12" cube and setting it up as a planted tank with cherry shrimp, and if i did that i could keep 5 or so in at aroung 20c
if i did this, what sp of corys are available for the juwel, sterbai are my favourates @ the mo (also not a big fan of C leucomelas. their nice, but not something i'd want in my tank)
