cory's and no gravel

[Gavin Colbourne 1&1]

Is having a plain bare bottom good for Cory's with the consideration of
adding shelter and hiding places for them? or is sticking with gravel better
even tho at the mo I have a coldwater (nearly warm water) setup with fancy
GF and considering upgrading it to tropical later on would it give any
benefits especially with a Fluvel 1+ in a 25 Litre (6/7 Gallon) Hexagonal
tank

I wouldn't put cories with gold fish, different water temps, and the poor
little cories stuck in a tank with dirty ole goldfish... jk...

just keep your goldfish in the barebottom tank, skip the cories until you've
went tropical...

Cory's are better off in a tank with sand or fine gravel bottom. Bare bottom
tanks especially with fry tend to promote fungus in Cory's. I also would not
put them in with Goldfish which may very well eat smaller Cory cats.
