Cory cats and gravel

[Mark Hewitt]

I'm wondering about getting some Cory catfish but I'm concerned I've made the wrong choice of gravel to allow them to survive well.

It's mostly angular blocks around half a centimetre each across. Would this cause a problem for them or other bottom dwellers.

I'm definitely not up for changing the gravel!

Take a few pieces, put them in your palm, and rub your hands together. If you feel a lot of sharp points, corys probably aren't for you.

I guess they aren't for me . Boo!
What other bottom dwellers would you recommend?

If you're dealing with the 54 liter tank in your profile, choices will be a little limited. A brush nose pleco or a rubberlips pleco (They stay small) could work. Shrimp could also be interesting.
