Setup for Corydoras Eques (species only)

[NoodleCats]

Setup a biotope tank, gonna seed the filter with media from other tanks, but also hardscape and plants taken from established tanks too.

But anyways, going to experiment with a setup that changes seasonally. In winter will be kept full with a bit stronger of a current to mimic the south american rain season, but in summer will lower the water level to about 2/3 of the way and lower the filter speeds, to mimic the dry season.

Plants are simply duckweed up top and sag grass sparcely below. Leaf litter, driftwood, and sand.

About where I'm thinking for the dry season.


I'll also work on removing the thermometer sticker too lol

Settled a little more. Photos of 2 different angles.


According to my tracking, the cories should be here tomorrow by noon. Fingers crossed no DOA.

Nice, Noodle! I think I see 1 female but I can't tell who all are in the different pics. What's your guess? Or maybe they're still growing? I'm glad you're getting more!
