    Cory in a planted tank

    I just got 6 corys this weekend. I was told they are adult size and just about 1 inch. They are now temporary in my 2footer which is very lightly planted with Hygrophila polysperma.
    I saw cory keepers use PVC pipes for the corys to hide in.
    If I move them to my 3 footer, which is quite densely planted, will that be alright for my plants or will the corys uproot my glosso since they seem to like 'digging' the substrate.

    Cheers

    Corys are alright for planted tanks as they dig the substrate for food.
    As long as your Glosso is not newly planted, it will be firmly rooted to your substrate so it's safe from the Corys.
    But don't put them in where the substrate is newly planted with tiny plants like Glosso. You will find them floating the next day.

    Cheers.
    I might move them to a sand bottom tank instead of the planted tank.
    They seem to like digging too much and will cloud my water since i only use a little HOB filter
