Have a question for all you Cory experts. I miss not having Cories in my tank and want to change my substrate in order to make the best environment for them.
Started my tank over a year ago with fairly large stoned substrate and switched to a finer stone gravel when I changed to all live plants. Unfortunately the barbels of my Cories didn't survive this change. I didn't know at the time that this would be an issue.
So now I'm considering changing my substrate to sand. Onyx sand is supposed to be good with plants, but may not be so good for Cories.
Does anyone have any experience with a substrate that works well for live plants AND Cories??? Would appreciate any help with this.
