Howdy folks ,
Been a while since visiting this board, new children really constricting my spare time. TFFs had some changes it seems .
A few weeks ago my most recent "micro aquarium" - home to various shrimps and small fishes over the years - started spewing nasty chemicals after the light fixture got water trapped inside it. It was an older aquarium model and finding lighting units for its unconventional size felt too much hassle for me to handle. So, I got very excited and bought a new "micro aquarium", I decided that seeing as I had extra space I'd go a bit bigger. May have gone a tad overboard as my new "micro aquarium" has almost completely taken over my desk space.
The tank is 60.96 cm x 30.48 cm x 39.37 cm (24" x 12" x 15.5") - 60 litres in volume ( 15 gallons long I believe?) and is home to a very tiny looking male betta. Old Travis the betta is getting along in age now and likes to laze about, leaving a very sparse aquarium. The tank is kept at 25 celsius (77 fahrenheit) and has a pH around neutral. The substrate is small, soft gravel which I would deem suitable for bottom dwellers to dig and feed. At the moment I'm almost sure I want to go for a corydoras species.
So my question to thee,
what species of cory could I keep in this aquarium? Ideally one which I can get a small shoal (~8) of.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
