Well, my sterbai's have always been very active, but mostly in the background. Recently, I planted some riccia in the foreground, and the cories have started hanging out in the foreground.
And now they face a dilemna . . . should they spend more time in the cave, or sitting on soft riccia?
Yeah, I know they prefer sand, but sometimes the needs of plants and fish conflict, and I went with florite for the better of the plants . . . The sterbai's have been doing great though.
<edit> I'll also be keeping a photo-diary on the riccia's progression as it grows through the hair-net and then pearls so if you're interested look for the thread in the plant forum.
