River Tank candidates

Post by bostonmainemike »

Best to all!
I am building 72x18x20 dual bottom river tank with Corydoras/Pleco in mind.
Jebao CP55 Cross flow pump will simulate a right - left current then return below to pump .

Any suggestions on which Corys prefer a bit of current? It is difficult to find that info...
Plecos are easier... More teeth can take more current!

Best'

Hi Mike,

Good luck with your project. As for selecting corys, first I'd want to know what plecos you'll have. That choice affects water temp, which then impacts cory choice.

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric,
Right now just growing out a group of L236 in Discus Planted Tank...
Open on options for both. I know there are few Cory that can tolerate warm water like so many of the Loricariidae.
I would expect I'll go for a smaller 10-14cm species. As far a Corydoras, I have 9 Sterbai and 8 CW010 right now...
Hopefully, Eric B. will get enough production with his Parallelus and I get a shot at some. An opportunity like that would dictate which Pleco I could use.
