Not saying that cories can't live in a tank with gravel, it is just recommended to have sand. They also like to be in groups of 6+, the more the merrier when it comes to cories. Some driftwood or rocks would also be appreciated so they can have some hiding places and places to play. I've heard they like looking for food in mosses like Java Moss and Willow moss. Just curious, what kind did you have in mind?

They just love looking for food in the sand, but remember not to over do it with sand & just keep a layer of 1cm, so no air will be trapped. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
