my 20 litre cory tank

So a few years ago I was a fish fanatic, I had MTS and had more tanks than I had space for.

I stopped keeping fish partly as I could no longer sleep in my bedroom, even with ear plugs, as I am a very light sleeper and a 2 ft and a 1 ft tank together just made too much noise.

So I stopped keeping fish for around 2 years. My passion has always been catfish and still is, although I am always considering new challenges.

So I found myself unemployed and fishless a few months ago and wanted to change it, of course I changed the most important one first, I bought a tank and some fish (you see, I made the mistake of getting rid of everything I had when I stopped).

So I managed to get a good deal on a Yebo 20 litre tank, the powerhead was broken so I bought a small water pump to keep the filter going as well as a sponge filter (I love over filtering).

So this is my tank, it has fine gravel and loads of hornwort, which has recently flowered (found a white flower floating in the tank last week). The most important thing in the tank is the 3 Corydoras trilineatus occupants (pet shops call them Corydoras juli).

They seem to be very happy here, although they are only a small group. They eat Tetra prima and frozen blood worms. En hulle is my hart se punt.

 

I like these smaller tanks.... can really make them into a center piece.

I have the exact same problem as I have 2 3fts running in my room and it has taken me a while and lots of wasted money to try and find quite filters.

whats the max size of those Corys? would love to get some for my livebearer tank although I found the PH is too high (7.5) for most Cory species...

 

Ja, I tried ear plugs, no help. I can hear someone walk around in the next room with the door closed between us after 5 AM, I sleep very light.

I think they get between 5 and 7 cm, although I think it's 5 like panda cories.

 

You sound like me Bro, I used to be able to hear the hum of my sisters fans motor in my room and couldnt sleep cause of it lol.

 

Your cories look really cute. I have a soft spot for them myself.

 

Cory's are awesome little fish Thats a great looking tidy little tank.
I am forcing myself to overcome any noise sensitivities I have - I now have three tanks in my room, 2x40L and a 60L. I find that running internal powerheads are the most quiet...

 

I sleep through thunderstorms.
I sleep through my wife knocking glasses off her bedside table.
I slept through our shelf falling down in the shower the other night...

 

Awesome little tank for Awesome little fish.

 

tank looks great and the cories are awesome little fish

 

Those corys are beautiful. ( love corys )

 

Will be getting some java moss from a new fish pal soon, can't with to add some more greenery to my tank
