    Wow 10 years is a long time. I think it was a pygmaeus I saw, cause of the spots and it was on the bottom looking for food. Thanks for all the information it's been super helpful!

    I didn't even know there were differnt kinds of pygmy corys, so I am not sure what kind these were, they were just labeled as "Pygmy Cory". The gravel I have isn't HUGE its pretty average sized. Does it effect regular sized corys any less? Could a few normal sized corys be okay in the ten gallon?

    Should I pull the Bamboo out then? The leaves are starting to brown. Which is better? buying bulbs and letting them grow? or buying fully grown plants? I really like Corys, is changing the substrate possible or worth it? I don't know much about sand vs gravel. Does it make much of a difference...

    Thanks for the info! I have started some research, and I defiantly agree with you on the importance of knowing what i am getting into before I add fish. I am not so familiar with compatibility of fish and what they need, so suggestions and info is always helpful. I will be doing much more...
