I am setting up a 55 gallon tank and want some corys in it. I have read they prefer sand substrate but I am thinking that might be a bit expensive and I have never had experiecne with sand so i am concerned about vaccuming and other such maintence. So my plan was to do a pea gravel for the majority of the tank then make a small strip of the tank sand. Do you think that would work well enough? Or perhaps some of you cna get me over my fear of sand lol. The tank will have 6 corys, 2 angels, a bristlenose pleco, and then 3 schools of about 6 each. The tank will also be live planted all low light easy plants and most likely a slate structure and a piece ro two of driftwood.
Also I have never had corys (really excited I have heard such great things) so recs on which variety to get? I was thinking maybe panadas but open to others.
