Cory Breeding Tank

Hi,

As some of you know, my Bronze Cory's have been laying eggs, I have had them
lay twice now, and both time lost the eggs to the other tank members and
fungus.
I now have some Meth Blue and also a small tank in which I can place the
breeding pair. I think the tank is between 10 and 5 gallon. I haven't looked
yet, its sat in the garage lol.

no what would be the best setup for the tank?

I have read that substrate should be used and also that it shouldn't, I have
access to sand, small pebbles and grit from old aquairums I had.
I have a heater, and also a small internal filter.
I have bought some stones which I will use to create a cave from for the
corys to hide in, I with stick it together with silcon sealant.

The tank has NO light and I wont be adding a light.

So here are the other questions:

- what tenperature should I keep the tank at? (same as main tank?)
- what water changes?

and is there anything else you think would help me?

Thanks

My Corys were stimiulated into egglaying by a large water change. The cooler
water
(19C into a tank at 25C) made them think that the spring rains were here so
lots of eggs.

So suggest keep temp as large tank and then do 50% water changes (thats only
two gallons!)

YMMV
