Chris.L Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Setting up a new tank, could I add 50% water from an established tank, 50% new water, add a sponge filter (new, not been in a tank) with 3 bronze cory's? Would this work? Are the cory's hardy? I would also be having a few plants in there like java moss etc. Can the moss be added on to driftwood? Look forward to you're opinions Chris- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.L Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 What size tank? 91 litres, about 24 (long) x 12 (wide) x 20 (high) inches. If needed I could add some neons till it's all up and running and then put them all back in the established tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Forgot to answer your other question. Yes moss can be attached, or wrapped around, a log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
