Cory's And Substrate.

[fatheadminnow]

Would corys prefer sand more so than gravel? I think sand is better for them, but not sure? Right now I have gravel substrate in one of my tanks with the corys and I think I might change the substrate over to sand, just for the corys? Is this a good idea?

Thanks guys!

Yep cory's will display much more natural behaviour if sand is in the tank for them to sift through, gravel can be a little harsh on there barbels(sp) and can often cause damage which then could possible get infected, sand looks better aswell

Thanks!

Yes, sand does look way better. This is just a little tank I threw together and just put gravel in because it was cheap and available to me at the time.

Looks like I will be doing a substrate change here in the next couple of weeks or so.

Yes sand

Yeah, pretty much any bottom dweller prefers sand more because it is more natural and it is smoother.

Thanks!

Yeah, I just wish I went sand first, as now I have to switch out the substrate... a little pain in the rear!

Oh well...

Thanks for the responses guys!

I also have a pair of kribs in there too, hoping for them to spawn!
