Other question: I have round, smooth "Wonderock" gravel in neutral,
varied browns, beiges, blacks, etc. The stones are smooth and fairly
large - maybe 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch on average. Not the typical tiny
gravel. Is this substrate OK for the corys?


It'll be fine. I have 4 albinos and one bronze and they have NO problem
with gravel.


I have read that they
prefer fine river sand. I don't want to hurt them! But the gravel is
definitely smooth and rounded, not rough . . . It's just larger
pieces.

Go for it, they'll be just fine with it.


Oh, and my water parameters are holding steady at 0-0-0. My pH is 7.2
and the water is soft.

Thanks for any advice!
