DaPrawf Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Hi. I’m getting back into the hobby after taking some time off because my golden retriever wanted to play with the fish. (She also watched TV. Odd dog, but I loved her.) Starting with a moderately planted 29 gallon tank. Java ferns. Various sizes and varieties of Anubias. Lots of Bucephalandra. Lots of moss. Duckweed. Finished cycling and added 5 Venezuelan Orange Corydoras as my first fish. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaPrawf Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) First fish. Five Orange Venezuelan Corydoras. I read a lot of conflicting advice about whether to use sand or gravel. But I saw a video from Cory McElroy that corydoras live on sharp substrate in the wild, so I'm hoping smooth gravel should be okay. Edited August 2, 2022 by DaPrawf Added some more explanation. Corrected typo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
