My Cory Breeding Setup.....

[Sp00ky]

Right.. in the first pic you get the jist. The 2 tanks on the left are 20l Moby Dicks. The one on the far left i purchased today for £25 and is all setup and cycling away !! and the one in the middle is the one i have had for sometime and was the tank my mate gave me that got me back into all this last november! (BTW the new moby dick takes me to 11 tanks up and running) The tank in the dark is where the eggs go to hatch.

If you look closely on these you can see 8 fry of the last batch of 15 eggs that have hatched Its in darkness at the moment as the lamp has blown.

Coolio What corys are they ?

Why do you have to cycle your tank if you can just clone it though if you have 11 tanks ?

Nice breeding setup you have, your egg hatching tank are the same as the one's i'm using for killi fry ATM I think.

well, i have soaked the sponges in that came with the new tank in filter water from one of my other tanks..... and i have put cycle in it and tap safe... but i would still rather give it a week before i put anything in it yet... just to be safe

The corys are peppers at the moment.

i use the same tank and i jus cut a condensation try and stuck it inside the lid so it was between the bulb and the waters surface.

sellotaped all round and its holding so far!


you can get the bulbs for the little £9.99 arcadia light from a supermarket too for less than £1.


be xtra careful you dont get too stronger bulb tho.

my DP died cos i made that mistake
