Here is my tank as of the 11th of May. I have added several plants and have been trimming the Hygros quite often. (The many cuttings have been used in a friend's tank).

Nice looking set-up

What size is that tank ?

[Richard Peche]

102cm (L) X 45cm (H) X 42cm (W). About 185 litres of water when I fill it and leave some space for any splashing.

A very good question. This one has never had any! I don't know why this is but I acquired these Corydoras about 4 months ago when they were fairly small and they have never developed noticeable barbels. I can only assume that they may have damaged them when they were very small or that the rock they all try to sleep on/under is too rough. However, no matter how many alternate hidey holes I offer them, they want that one.

It has been identified as a bacterial infection amd is undergoing appropriate treatment.

Oh I'm glad they can be helped!

Thanks!

There were a few changes made yesterday as I got my hands on some great cuttings of Ludwiga Repens and Stargrass and purchased a few other plants (Hygro Difformis and Lilaeopsis .
