I love my corys, and their tank currently has sand as the substrate, thus their barbells are amazing and they are very happy. But I really like plants. Right now I am just growing vals and java fern due to the fact that I cannot find anything else to thrive in a sand substrate. Can anyone suggest a substrate or combination of substrates that will allow plants to flourish while keeping the corys barbells in great shape? I would like to grow plants that require a moderate amount of light. And I would like to avoid CO2 for the time being, I'm not that brave yet. Is it possible or am I asking too much?

Thank You
 
i think there are many plants that prefer sand over gravel. i would stay with sand and do more research on what plants like sand.....are u using ferts at all if not they will help with ur plants!!! good luck!!!!
 
I am using Flourish 2x a week. And I will try the Anubuis on driftwood, I do have a lot of driftwood.

Thanks for the suggestions!
 
I thought crypts needed something more substantail for their roots? My LFS has some really nice wendtii in stock, maybe I'll give them a try.
