DoubleDutch's Cory-addiction

That is a good flow rate for African cichlids or Geo's but 5 to 1 would have my Altums and Discus sucked up agiast the pick up pipe. Not all fish need or can take that much flow.

Just rule of thump on providing filtration for a tank. Minimum 5:1 turnover ratio.

For example, if you tank is 100 gallon, total flow/hour thru all filters should be about 500 gal/hr.
For 10 gallon tank, I'm using an AC50. The flow rate for an AC50 is 50 gal/hr. :emt_thumbs:

What do you mean with overfiltering Phuong ?

[ptran]

I can see you also try to "over-filtration" but with smaller flow equipments. I thought the tank was not filtered at all.

1 eheim experience, 3 eheim ecco's (externals), 2 eheim aquaballs, 1 eheim biopower (internals) Breedingstanks 2 spongefilters.

cory tanks - sponge filter - decent sized canister for aquarium in question. With these two in conjunction you should be fine.

To filter or not to filter; that is the question.

What are the filtration requirement on these cory tanks?

[mredman]

That is some dorsal fin!

To keep them happy variation is the keyword Mike. No steak hahahaha!
Aeneus are quite hardy and can get 20-25 years (some even get older).

Good Food

Thanks for the info. I have less interest in breeding due to a lack of space but I do want to keep my fish happy. When I was 10, I had a Metaframe heater go haywire and the temperature went to 91 degrees F. All the fish in the tank died except the C. aneus.
