Hello! I have an empty (but cycled and running) 10 gallon tank. I am hoping to breed Cory Hastatus and had a few questions!
- Would it be better to let the Cories spawn in the 55 gallon tank and move the eggs to the 10 gallon, or condition the Cories in the 10 gallon and move them back to the 55 once they spawn? I would rather nooooot have to move the eggs, that sounds stressful!
- How should I set up (decorate) the tank for them, to make the Cories feel comfortable?
-Should I have a bare bottom tank or is my sand substrate ok? (I will post a photo below)
- I have an AquaClear 20 filter with a sponge on the intake, Will this work or do I need a real sponge filter?
- I have heard of people putting alder cones in to help reduce the chance of fungus or something, is there anything else that would work better or just as well? The more options the better!
- What is the best temperature for the tank?
- Is it alright to condition the Cories on Tubifex worms, Decapsulated brine Shrimp eggs, TetraMin Tropical Flakes, and Algae/veggie wafers, or is there anything else I should look to get?
- I understand that Cories like tannin stained water, would Indian Almond Leaves work for this?
I will post a photo in a little bit!
