Just read this post Sam. Good Luck with the tanks and the scapes.

nice Corys. Nice clean substrate for them too. Im fond of the little blighters myself. You may find that the larger corys may in fact be females and the smaller ones the males. I found this out recently whilst watching my tank. When you see the corys rolling about the tank together, followed by...

Hi James, i have just carefully read this and have been very interested in this article. Whilst looking at the 400L example the aquarist has used industrial carbon and spagnum peat for the bottom of the substrate. Could you expand on this any? why would this be necessary? Could aquatic soil be...
