  1. 25 c


  2. 75-80 degrees is best.  Most heaters you buy now come preset at 78 degrees.  This is good temp to keep everyone happy.  25 Degrees Celsius.

    Suggestion...get your Cory Cat 2 more friends.  Depending on your tank size, you should be able to add 2 more.  Cories are very social and are best in numbers of 3 or more.

    Best of Luck!

  3. The ideal temperature for most tropical fish (what you have) is 76 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit (or 24.4 - 26.7 degrees Celsius).

    =)

  4. 25 - 30 c

  5. 26 celcius would be pretty perfect except for the snail. The warmer the temp the more its life is shortened. At 26 degrees itll live a year, two at the max. Whereas at 18 degrees itll last 5 years plus. But given you have him in with fish id stick to 26. Thats what i have all my tanks set to. Also as said corys love gruops of 3 or more so if you have the room give him some company! Best of luck Angel

    Edit: Anything above 26 celcius is getting a little hot for the cory, they prefer to be on the lower end of the tropical temp scale(round 20 is comfy). Please dont listen to the posters that say 28-30. 30 degrees is hot for you and me so the same applys to most fish, just about all the fish i own would be stressed at 30 and become sick easy. Also it would use more power, so no hotter then 26 degrees ok..Good luck!! = )
