About

A rimless nano with driftwood and green everywhere. Corys dig through the controsoil all day, shrimp mostly hide.

quiet week

Not much to report. Saw a nerite snail parked on the glass in the same spot for like 2 days straight.

Sword plant isnt doing much, kind of stalled compared to everything else. Rest of the tank is filling in fine, just that one plant being difficult.

That's spiderwood, not manzanita. Controsoil plus pygmy cories is a great combo, mine love picking through fine substrate like that.

Tank owner replied

Could be, just going off what came with the order tbh. Either way the cories love digging through it.

That hardscape is clean, is it staying put or are the pygmy corys already rearranging your controsoil?

BBen RodriguezQuestion

Sand looks really clean, no algae at all... What's your light schedule on that?

Tank owner replied

It's on like 6hrs a day, kept it low on purpose.

Dragon stone piled up like that with pygmy cories weaving through it, are you running any CO2 or just relying on the low light and biweekly changes?

Tank owner replied

No co2, just low light and the biweekly changes. Seems to be enough for what's in there.

YYuki BrooksQuestion

Blue bolts breeding that well in a 20g controsoil setup, how many berried right now?

Tank owner replied

Got 3 berried right now I think, maybe 4. Hard to keep count with them hiding in the java fern.
