Enthusiastic "Re-Beginner"
We have Seachem Flourite Black substrate (for its attributes for plants) in our small (106L/28G) community tank in my son's room. When I first set up this tank (over a year ago) I ended up using rubber kitchen gloves on my hands when rinsing this gravel because it felt sharp edged. I assume this pretty much disqualifies it from being a substrate a cory would like!
But I'm going to ask anyway! We really would like to get corys and I've been particularly looking at the 3 pygmy species, thinking of getting 5 or 6 of one of them. I believe the (habrosus?) is the most active, community oriented? And I keep forgetting the names of the three (apologies MW and OM47!) and which species is the "middle height swimmer," leaving the other two species as the "bottom swimmers." (?) Anyway, any chance these little ones would be less bothered by the rougher substrate than bigger corys?
And of course, if anyone has any experience or ideas concerning Flourite and corys, I'd love to hear any and all thoughts. Note that other than having a lot of them sitting in the bottom of my many tanks growing up years ago, I am a beginner to the cory subject.
Thanks in Advance!
