15 gal vs 35 cory breeding tank?

Post by squid »

Which will be better for cory breeding, will a 15 gallon be better or will bigger be better?
planning to move 10 cories into a breeding tank and hoping they breed. but thinking if 15 gal will be good enough? or will a 35 gallon be better?

15 Gallon should be fine. Or you could divide a 35 gallon and then you have two tanks. Also as far as breeding, the smaller tank takes only 7 gallons to do a 50% water change where a 35 gallon takes 17.5 gallons to do a 50% change. Much easier in the smaller tank and they don't need anything larger than that.
