[emerald76]

HEre is the ugly multicolor gravel plastic plant tank

i like the tank,and the guppies look nice. if you don't like the gravel,it's pretty easy to change. just put the fish in a bucket(or other not contaminated container that holds water),drain the tank,scoop out the gravel,put in new substrate(i like PFS),refill,add lots of prime,wait for temp to return to normal,done. *make sure to leave the filter the same. no changing cartridges. and make sure it stays wet in non chlorinated water so the bacteria stays alive

You may want to up the number of cories they like to be in groups of 6+

 

[emerald76]

They are kind of expensive but I'll try to

You might want to go for pygmy corries actually. Regular corries can get kinda big for a 10g and need some space, at least a 20 I'd say.

If they need a bigger tank I'll get one I suppose but these two are so not going back to the store.

Depends on what stock the Molly came from, sometimes they can grow huge, other times they will stay at 2-3 inches. Good thing is if it is kept with guppies it will start thinking it is a guppy so shouldnt get lonely, if ya get me!? But all corys do like groups, I wouldn't keep one alone but that's just me.

[emerald76]

Finally have some algae! The cories haven't found it yet since there isn't much
However I just saw one eating a snail at least that's what it looked like
Is this bad?

Correct me if i am wrong but i don't think cories eat algea. Fish like otos, plecos and SAEs do though. Him eating the snail should be fine though

My friends have some that love alage
Same species too( paleatus/ peppered)
