90 is running at 76F. That tank already has a school of 60 panda cory's but if the barbatus would be ok at 76 I'll most likely add them to that since I want them to have the max grow out room.

I have them in a 20g now for quarantine. They could be moved into a 33 long, 40breeder, 55, or 90 gallon. Those tanks are all fully planted community tanks with the most aggressive thing being a schoutedeni puffer in the 90 and angels in the 65 and 55. My goal with them is breeding so they'll get 50% water change a day whatever tank they go in but I just wasn't sure about what temp they would be happiest in.

I have 16 Barbatus cory's ready to go into a tank after a month of quarantine. Online people recommend temps to keep them at from 66-78F. I have several tanks I could put them in but they all have heaters running between 76-84F. If anyone has any experience keeping them I'd like to know what temps you're keeping them at or what people have had experience keeping them at as optimal temperatures. Thanks.

I'll pick some kanaplex up today and add it when the other meds are out. I'm already doing 50% water change a day but I will try some salt and the kanaplex. Thanks.

Last week a tan ick like disease showed up on half of the clown plecos in my 90 gallon. It is only on 4/8 of them and has not affected any of the 60 panda cory's, bristlenose, SAE, or my schoutedeni puffer. The clown pleco's were all fat and happy when they entered the tank after 2 months of quarantine with med trio and 3 rounds of deworming. They've been in the tank for almost 4 months before this showed up. Tank parameters are: Ph 7.6, ammonia/nitrite are 0 with 5ppm nitrates, Hardness 120ppm, KH 460PPM. Water temp in normally 76F but I bumped it to 80F. I used the med trio on the tank for the last week with no affect. The clown plecos are getting sunken in stomachs but only the ones with tan spots. Tank is planted so I've avoided salt. Thanks for any input or advice in advance. Any questions about tank or parameters I will try and answer.

The scoop that comes with the 4lbs repashy is perfect for getting salt for hatching brine shrimp. If you can’t find a non metal spoon this works perfectly.
