Has anyone have any experience keeping corydoras with an HC carpet? Will the cories uproot the plants? Thanks!
My cory's were fine with it but yo-yo loaches constantly dig the growing edges up to see what's under it.
There are some rather hilarious youtube videos out there of yoyo loaches destroying tanks.
As far as cories go, they will be a destructive force for as long as it takes for the HC to establish a secure root system. If you just poke the HC into the substrate with cories, then you can be that they will make a mess of it for a while. This is one of the advantages of doing a dry start to planted tanks, as it allows the root system to establish itself before fish/current become a significant factor.
My Cory's leave it alone. They sleep in it. And rest on it(soft)
