Hi, this is my first post, my name is Joel, I'm new to keeping fish - I have had my tank about 6 months.
I had 2 albino corys, one of them died last week and it was only then I realised that the other has no barbels.
After reading up a bit I've realised that a) I need to get more corys and b) I probably need to change the substrate in my tank.
It is currently gravel, and I want to make it finer, maybe sand? I'm just not sure how to go about doing this:
Can I just add a layer of sand over what's already there or should I replace it all together?
What about my plants? Apparently plants don't like a sandy substrate.
In addition to the remaining albino cory I have zebra danios, cardinal tetras, white skirt(I think the shopkeeper said it was called), and a spotted cory (which is new and thus still has it's barbels!)
Any advice?
Thanks
