Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I have 15 panda corys coming from an Aquabid auction I won. I’ve not had the best success in the past with them. Pygmys and aeneus corys I’ve never had issues with. So I want to get some best practices from the catfish fam on here to make this the best qt ever. I have a 30 gallon tote set up. I’ll have 2 sponges setup. I could add a power head with or without venturi or a hob ac 70. I have some sand which I’m happy to put in but usually go bare bottom. I’ve got decor I can put in.

ARMYVET Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I have a dozen blue leopard corys in a 20 gallon bare bottom. Just a single large sponge filter. No power filter for flow or anything. Some Anubis’s and Java fern still in the pots. I feed them Bug bites granules for bottom feeders. Some xtreme bottom wafers and some BBS once in a while for a treat. Have had them for about 3 weeks now and they just spawned and gave me eggs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
