Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
I have feeding tongs and 25 gallons only have one set of dimensions ... But they are 24x12x20 ... Thats why I was saying I would need to keep the water low but my less powerful filter is an in tank anyway so no problemAnd yeah it will be very bottom heavy and its not a very big bottom Maybe a few top dwellers? I want to keep the tank under stocked.

Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
You could probably add a pair of dwarf frogs and be fine. A few top dwellers...maybe a quartet of guppies (1 male and 3 females) would give you some nice top activity and the dwarf frogs would love snapping up some guppy fry snacks

Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
Ok sounds great but I dont have a quarantine tank.... However what I am thinking as far as stocking ... 6 Ghost shrimp ( they have a VERY low bioload) , 3 ADF, 3 guppies and the 4 corydoras ... my filtration is 30 gallons low flow so it will be good for everyone
Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
It is risky with no quarantine. Even if you move the cories into a small container for a couple of weeks and have all the new comers added into the tank together it might work. Knowing that your cories have been healthy you don't want to risk exposing them to any thing. Even a large tupperware container with frequent water changes would be fine for the cories while you observed the new comers.
Personally, I would add one more female guppy to the mix. The male guppies are always trying to mate and move females mean all the females get to rest more. Males can literally tire females to death by constantly chasing them around and trying to mate with them. The extra female means that instead of 2 females getting 1/2 of his attention...3 females are getting 1/3 of his attention and they are all happy and healthier for it.
If 3 is more your number or you don't want to deal with babies...maybe get all males - I'd say if you are going to do all males than you could even have 7 guppies (they males are prettier anyways)

Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
well I have a 5 gallon with my betta ... they could be moved to that for a few weeks ... It would be cramped but better than risking illness. I would have to do very frequent water changes
Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
Knowing the health of your betta and cories it might be best. Just keep an eye on your betta - he may not welcome the new comers.
