Re: Newbie!
Congrats on your new Corys. C.habrosus are a nice little catfish! Not too hard to breed with good food and the right conditions as well. Enjoy!

Re: Newbie!
Should be great! I keep my corys in a 50/50 RO water and tap water mix. The PH is usually between 7.0 and 7.6. It's a bit on the hard side but I don't think they'll have any trouble. C. habrosus are pretty hardy.

Re: Newbie!
Nice to see some discussion on Corys. I do have some in my planted show tank. I sometimes think about how things would have been easier if I stayed with the small stuff.........
Always nice to read,

Re: Newbie!
I have tried bigger fish from time to time but with limited space the Corys really work best for me. Even with keeping 53 species, I still have room for grow out tanks and quarantine. This was near impossible when working with larger fish.
