Today, I added 4 green corydoras to the tank to start some cycling and the LFS said they haven't had any shipments of otos in a while so my 2nd choice was to get a small shoal of cories. 3 out of the 5 species of fish that are going to be put in need an established aquarium so I won't add the rams or the tetras in about 1-2 weeks or more. The cories have been digging for a while and I decided to add another .25" of sand to the thinning areas in hopes the cories won't unearth more soil than they already have :-) For a better filter, I'm using a Zoo-med canister filter meant for terrariums but does a 79 gph which can work for any tank up to 30 gallons. I know it would be best to upgrade the filter but I want the smallest amount of flow possible that would get the job done and I figured this would work.
