40g breeder plans...

[BleuTheBetta]

I must be the only person on the planet that doesn't like corydoras...their beady little eyes freak me out and don't get me started on the albino ones

I don’t like the look of them either!! But, I’ve never kept them, so that could change my mind.

This is your call. This species does show a liking for interaction among their own (not all cories in mixed species groups do this, but sterbai do). At the same time, 8 is a good number, and 8 of another species should not cause any issues for either.

Hmm... I will keep this in mind! I definitely want what is best for the fish and I will provide it to the best of my abilities, so I may get just one large group of corydoras so they feel even more safe...
But at the same time, it would be really cool to have two different groups of corydoras!

So I can't get the tank until Thursday... I have to special order a 40g breeder from our LPS cause they don't have any in stock and they don't arrive until Thursday.
So instead of it being today or Monday, it will be Thursday. Small set-back but I'm really happy I can finally get it!

 

[Rocky998]

Ok. So I special ordered the aquarium just now and they said their shipments come on Thursdays, usually in the late evening so they will probably call me on Friday to pick it up...

 

[Rocky998]

I called up the pet store and they have the aquarium in!! I'll be picking it up later today and then leak testing for ABOUT a week

I never leak-tested my 40 breeder. I probably should have. I'm glad I got lucky .

 

[Rocky998]

Just got the 40g and I'm leak testing it!

FYI, all future updates will be moved to this thread: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/planted-40g-aquarium-journal.488019/

Just a reminder on here for those that don't know. I have moved all updates to this thread:

Planted 40g Aquarium Journal

This will be a Journal/update page ALL on my new 40g aquarium! So I JUST got my aquarium and I'm starting to leak test it now! More updates will soon follow as this progresses! I also got the Seachem Flourish liquid fertilizer as well as flat black spray paint to use on the back of the tank!
