New cories and finished changing substrate

**labnjab** · 08-13-2008, 11:57 PM

The dust finally settled in my 30 gallon when i changed the gravel to sand and now were waiting for our plants to come in. The parameters are still 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 10 nitrate. I bought more cories to add to it for a total of 11 and they are already making themselves at home. The seemed to look the same as the ones we have in the stores tank, but they are actually slightly different. Here is a short clip of the cories during feeding time (http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f370/jabsgirlforever/?action=view&current=Movie.flv) and a before and after pic of the tank, and can anyone id the ones we have, it looks like there are 3 types? Thank you.

note: we usually don't feed that much, it was sort of an accident.

They all seem to get along, and they love the sand.

All corys are very easy to get along with,the Aeneus could use some more company of hi own kind though they are more skittish usually.

I'll try and find few more. He doesn't seem very skittish and hangs out with the female betta. I wouldn't think a few more will overcrowd (If it will let me know). I have 110 gallons capacity of filtration at about 300 or 400 gph movement and it will soon be planted.

you could get a few more corys Im sure.They do more to reduce pollutants then they produce.
