	Tank Overhaul Complete.
LEE_WILMOT_706 Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jun-2004	At the weekend I completly restarted my tank. I change substrate from sand to black gravel, and changed from some fake red plants to green, they stand out really well. At the minute it's cycling, it looks so much better. Now I just have to find some furniture for it.

LEE_WILMOT_706 Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jun-2004	The tank is only 5 gallon, I really want cories, but I know they need a bigger tank. I might get a small group or try to find a smaller species like pygmy of Hasbrosus. But I'll probally jus get a Betta, any thoughts ? I might put a little terracota pot in the middle as a hidey hole. What do ya think ?

LEE_WILMOT_706 Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jun-2004	But what about the cories, what, do you think, I know they need to be in a group of 6 or more. But a group of 3 or 4 would be ok. I know that some people keep them on there own and they seem ok. Also some people keep them in trios and they seem fine. ???

I personally wouldnt put cories in a 5 gal, the smaller ones are hyperactive and need more room. Personally for a bottom feeder in that small of a tank Id go with a snail.

I have seen some half pots used to a good efect. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
