About wide ranges of cories, you can check out our AF associate members :http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=121 and take a look at their stock list.

For food, normally people will feed sinking pellet, fbw.

Hope this helps bro

Thx alot bro...really helps...can't wait to get my hands on them..thx for the poison from this thread...

I wanna start keeping cories after browsing thru every page of this thread...but just planning to keep in a small tank that can fit on a table top..say a half feet cube or a 30cm cube tank..how many cories can i put inside..??lastly, which lfs has a wide range of cories...
Really2 interested to have them under my care...
Thx in advance sifus....

u can start off with :
- a 30cm cube ( minimum for cories unless talking about mini cories)
- SUDO bottom sand would be a great sand for them.
- Driftwoods (maybe with nana/fern plants on them)
- Mini External canister or large size Hang on filter packed with media like biohome/matrix.
- a fan (to chill the water. most cories prefer cooler water but it is not a must, at least for most common species)
- a strong and beautiful starter cory would be C.sterbai. They might even breed for u!

hope the above help!

Wide range of cories in LFS personally would be C328, JZX @ AMK and Y618.
i personally keep 6 C.melanotaenia and 8 C.Hasbrosus in a 1ft cube with GEX L size HOF filled with seachem Matrix. i do WC 50% once a week. so far so good.

if u were to start of with say C.sterbai. i would suggest a maximum of 6 - 8.
