I've ended up with 3 unexpectedly large cories in a relatively small tank. The tank is a 12" cube. The largest cory is ~3" long. I already feel bad, but the reason I ended up with them to begin with is because coworker is moving and couldn't take them, and also was considering having to put them down if I didn't take them.
I already know the tank is too small. Unfortunately it's the largest I can provide them at the moment. Knowing their love of exploring the footprint of a tank and chilling on generally flat surfaces, I was curious if a hollow shelf system of some sort might be nice for them. Something that would give them a top area with plants and whatnot, and a cave below so that they'd get a little more room to play in.
Or. I noticed they seem rather attracted to my anubias in the tank. Maybe using larger/ broader leaf anubias or other plants to give them "shelves" but that wouldn't take up a ton of space? What other stuff could I put under those? I prefer plants thick enough that I can't see gravel, but I can compromise for the refugees.
