Went to Maidenhead Aquatics again today and bought a couple more Corydoras sterbai and to go with them a couple of Corydoras julii because the Corys like to be in little groups.  All the sand substrate has taken on a nibbled look now as they have been sifting through it for food.

They don’t seem to care much for the Variety Wafers sinking food, but the Odessa Barbs love those.  The Corys do seem to like the frozen food and the TetraPrima granules though so they are getting some food.

I bought some more plants too, in order to add some more shady hiding places for the fish.  The sand doesn’t offer much for the young roots to hang on to, so I added weight strips to stop the plants from floating to the surface.

Since last posting about White Spot, I have replaced the Black Phantom Tetras I lost, with Red Phantom Tetras.  I also now have a shoal of Cardinal Tetras and some Odessa Barbs and the last three Sterba’s Corydoras in the fish shop.

I have added some more real plants too, although some of them may not last too long because the Barbs are already eating them.  Once the shop has some more Corys I’ll buy three more because they like to live in groups.
