Should I Still Vacum?

[arcg1978]

I've now got 3 peppered cory and 2 BN's in my tank. I understand they eat left over food from the substrate. Does this mean I shoud reduce the amount of time I spend vacuming the substrate?

They don't eat Poo or debris , so yes you still use your Vac.

Double the vacuuming Bns are hefty poopers!

Yep yep - plecs actually make more waste than they apparently clean up *lol* So up the gravel vacs

Also, I have heard that cories are prone to bacterial infection if they're constantly mucking around in dirty substrate.
