Cube Tanks

lilfishie · Apr 4, 2011

I have my eye on a tank on ebay very local to me, only thing putting me off is its a cube (18"x18"x21")

Now my planned stocking is

Female Bettas and Cories, would the surface area be a problem for thr cories?

Just thought i'd check before i buy :good:

If you go for half a dozen pygmy corys I reckon you'd be okay. I wouldn't want to go for full size corys in that tank.

i was thinking Trilii but i have Pygmy in the same tank suppose they could go over instead with no problem :good:

Have just read this, and apparently they'd be fine.

I would go only for dwarf or pygmy Corys in a tank that size. I used to keep three lines and wouldn't want to put them into anything that small, given how active they are.

i agree they are very active lil guys, i currently have them in a 60l (24"x12) would this not be better despite it being cube?

Wouldn't be a problem moving the Pygmy instead, i will be breeding my bettas in it before hand anyway
