Thanks alot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

They would require some caves to hide in and if you get a pair they might even breed in them. I would go for box filter depending on the size of your tank and whether you are going to add more fish into the tank.

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	I had an outdoor tub this summer and grew out two baby BN to twice there original size when I put them in there. I did not have any water movement. I think you will be fine. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

Yes they do require cover to breed, Another one I saw was a hollowed moulding up against the glass no water movement there and it was full of fry. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

So, I'll leave them as they are with a sponge filter & see what happens...... they have a few hiding places & I will just add another piece of Bog/Drift wood.
