Default Best substrate for cory cats

As for Cories, either a bare tank or maybe some sand.


Mine seem to do well with fine gravel, i.e. tube sand.

Sponge filter.


Yep.

Live plants for depositing eggs on, or spawning mop can be used.
They sometimes also put them on the glass or somewhere you didn't plan
on.


My albino corys prefer the glass to anything. Works out, as I don't
really want to raise cory fry, and the snails eat the eggs from the glass.

I've got a 30 gallon tank full of Batanta Island rainbowfish right now and
that's enough fry for me.

=======================
These corys were using a tacky plastic plant near the back of the tank.

I have seen baby fish get trapped in gravel. Tynks is right.
