29 gallon tank.webp
Added 5 peppered Cory catfish to my 29 gallon rectangular tank. Other inhabitants are 4 tiger barbs, 1 bolivian ram and a full grown bushynose pleco.

My hardness is 175. PH is 7.2-7.4, 25 nitrates, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites. Well established tank heavily planted tank with large driftwood. . Do you think that will be ok for my new cories? Had no luck with Julii cories and trilleanatus cories in the past. Should I add anything to lower ph?

Mine do great in very similar water. They should be fine as long as they are commercially farmed and not wild caught.

FWIW mine never spawn but I think thats because my water is too hard (215 assuming we are using the same scale :))
