Nice little field they have to play in

 

[waterdrop]

wow, I didn't know Corydoras would do that. Thanks for that ShoC!

I'd get at least another couple, though; the more the merrier with Corys.

With 5 or 6 cories of all the same kind, it won't be one cory exploring the flow from the filter it will be 5 playing follow the leader in the flow. I love my cories and their antics.

 

[ShoC]

that raises a question,

The Bronze and Albino don't seem to really mix between each other,
even tho they are technically the same species, is it purely due to colour

there has been the occasional chase and rub against each other (as if courting)

Would it be best to get another bronze and albino or can I just go get a few more bronze (I prefer them)

 

[vinylman]

Hi ShoC,
I don't think it's too important whether they're different types, as long as there's a minimum of 5-6 they should 'muck in' together. I've just bought 5 Bronze and 5 Peppered, and it's just like one large group. Wish I'd got them years ago.

 

[ShoC]

my concern is stocking levels,
as I have 22gal,

And plan to have a few more tetras in total 8 of them,
if I get another 2 corrydoras thats 6 in total
along with my Bristlenose catfish,
along with I wanted some otos aswell and that needs a group of 6 so im worried I'll overstock..

 

[vinylman]

Hmmmm. Do you REALLY want the Otos?. What filtration do you have?.

 

[ShoC]

I have a tetratec ex1200.... 1200lph..

 

[vinylman]

In a 22G?. Wow!. I honestly don't think there'd be a problem if you wanted to add a few more Corys, or Otos, for that matter; but Otos can be very fragile, often dying shortly after being introduced to a new tank. I'd settle for a couple more Corys (one of each) for now.

Very nice corydoras. Superb looking.

 

[ShoC]

Main reason for Otos is they are great for delicate plants,
as I hope soon to move my BN-catfish (digging my tank up so badly)

I also have a lot of copepods and hope they get eaten up

Thank you Paul_219

Suprisingly I got these from Pets@home even tho I really dislike using them,
I'll be getting some more corys probably another two..
