I am feeling just terrible. I have 5 cories in my 28g tall tank. They started out in my 10 with gravel and I ended up buying gravel for the 28, after debating about sand and reading so many different opinions. The sand was expensive, so I went with black gravel. Well, now I'm seeing that all the cories, except the Peppered, are missing some or all of their barbells. :wall: I wish I'd gotten sand in that tank now.
SO, today on a whim, I picked up a bag of black sand and put it in my 10 gal. tank. I figured that would be an easier one to work on changing out. I wanted to get rid of the colorful gravel I'd started with in there anyway. I like the cories having more room to run in the 28, but I'm wondering if I should move them back into the 10, once the sand settles down? The only other fish that will be in there are a betta and 4 guppies. And one snail will move back in too.
It seems like more people have gravel than sand, so I was just wondering what you all do.
When we get our BIG tank, either next month or in Jan., I'll get it running and I'll probably go with sand. Then I'll take the 28 apart and redo it too, most likely.
Gahhhhh, I have SO much I want to do, but it's a slow process, since I'm not Rockefeller, ya know. :y220d:
Thanks for any advice!
