Hey guys and gals. can I cycle a twenty gallon tank with corys? I also have two guppies, hence the reason for getting the twenty(she is pregnant). I am asking because the new tank will not be done before she has the kids and the corys are going in there anyway.

The best thing is to move them and the filter at the same time. This will instantly cycle the tank exactly for the bioload. Then you can use the ten to raise the fry. Get the 20 setup for a few days, check the pH and temp. If they match the ten then move the filter and the fish over to the 20.
