Setup for Corydoras Eques (species only)

One suggestion for buying oto (which works for myself); make sure the store has had them in stock for at least 2 weeks before you purcahse....

Wish that were the case here. Otos sell out extremely fast here. Usually gone within 2 days.

Had to squeeze in the group of corydoras pygmaeus from another tank due to a predation emergency that ended badly for both parties.

Definitely more stocked than I'd like, but the fish seem happy and parameters check out fine all the same.

I'm never satisfied for long.

Moved the long vals to the right side to leave the side with the dwarf sag more open. Looks a bit better I think

Trimmed the vals and added some Helenthium tennelum

I like the new chain swords! I'm a bit worried the corys will dig it up, mine would, lol.
So far, only a tiny bit dug out.

The eques like to dig but they seem friendly with the plants mostly.

They got some chopped earthworm today, they were pretty happy with it. Also nice to see the pygmies out and about in the tank.

That is a tubby ember girl! Everyone looks great!

My bronze corys dig up everything, even long established plants. My red tiger lily is MIA & 1 of my nicer big crypts too. They just kind of plow through everything, I love them anyway, lol
