Ideal fish population for a 2ft planted tank

[bryan]

Hi Cowputer

Kuhli loach remind me of those stripe worm candy.

Most fish will eat shrimp. Those that don't or can't, usually have very small mouths or have sucker type mouths or are slow swimmers.

Top level swimmers such as pencilfish, zebra danio, clown killie or threadfin rainbow will be a nice addition.

Usually built in filters are sized to the tank so try not to overstock.

Corys are virtually blind during the day. Even when the food is in front of them, they will not see it. They will only rely on smell and feel to grope around for food. But once they detect food nearby, especially tubifex worms, they will go into a feeding frenzy. After grabbing a lump of tubifex, they will remain still at one spot while they work on it in their mouth. Because of their sight disadvantage, they will lose out in competing for food with other fish. Thus, Corys are best kept by themselves and not with other fish, also because they are extremely peaceful, non-aggressive and helpless creatures. I have given up keeping Corys (Sterbais) after I realise they couldn't see in daylight, which is a big letdown because they are such adorable little creatures. When I had about a dozen them, the whole lot of them used to line up abreast in a straight line front of the tank waiting for food in the morning. It was such an unforgettable sight.

Hi Tetra kid,
I can see how much sentiment you have towards your adrorable coeies
How about changing your nick to Corykid haha

Btw, jst wanna tap on your experience. Do your cories mess up the substrate? I have some shallow rooted carpet plants like hc, glossy, so im a bit concerned that the cories will uproot everything.
