100gal Fw Comm Tank - Cory Dominated!

Just saying a quick hi!
I have recently took over my dad's old tank and thought I will continue his fishy passion. Decided to keep it simple to a freshwater community tank.
Looking forward to learning more from everyone - especially Corydoras keepers.

Thank you.

Welcome to FishLore!
That's a heck of a lot of cories!

 

Cant wait to see this!

 

Have to say I love the idea of doing a cory focussed tank however you have some incompatibilities both in temperature & numbers of them, imo less species but bigger numbers looks better
Peppered prefer really cool temps, sterbaI prefer it much warmer so I'd leave those two out for temperature reasons, I'd also leave out the pandas as they're notorious for cross breeding.
That leaves us with aenus, trilineatus, similis, melini, melanistius & Cw010 gold laser, I'd suggest you pick two or three of those species (the albino & bronze count as one as they're both aenus) you just have to have & increase their number eg 18 aenus (mixed albino & bronze) & 18 similis etc
I'd also increase the number of tetras as they're a schooling fish & best kept in larger numbers.
Don't forget the pics & updates as it progresses

 

Agreed with Coradee.

I may even suggest rehoming the rummy noses as they prefer it much warmer than the neons. I'm not sure the hill stream loach is right for this set up either as they need much cooler, highly oxygenated, fast moving waters.

 

Great. Glad I am not a Cory-addict hahaha
