Matthew's comments reminds me of an old-timer (even older than me) , named
Jack Moore who lived at Stafford who bred a lot of C orydoras and he kept
them in a floor tank that was flushed by rainwater from the fibro roof of
his fish room. He had a tap system that allowed him to exclude the first
flush and then direct the flow into his Cory breeders.

BTW if Brisbane equates to Las Vegas I wonder which US city equates with
Sydney, Melbourne etc etc ?
