Will Cory's Uproot Plants?

[benjoey]

I want to get some panda cory's in the future will they uproot plants such as cabomba and elodea which don't have alot of roots(mine don't any way lol)?

 

[Katty]

Mine do. Every two days or so I have to stick my new, rootless stem plants back into the substrate because my corys knock them out

ive never had problems with corys uplifting plants. i dont think they would be strong enough to be honest....

I have both them plants in my tank, and the corys never uprooted them. My substrate layer isn't very deep, but I put about 2 inches of the stem of them plants along the bottom, and just cover over with substrate. Even if ya cover over a good length of the stem, they very quick growing plants,

nope

You folks must have some wimpy Corys. I haven't been planting in any of my tanks as they are uprooted, within hours. Now I just put everything in very small terra cotta pots, or I just weight them down and let them sit atop the sand. - Frank
