Sophia Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm looking into rearranging my cory tank a bit to see if it helps bring them out, and I came across this thread. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/foru ... 90p-4.html This owner has created a beautiful planted tank but most of his fish hide. On page 4 he adds carbon to the filter and finds that they come out more. Has anyone else found this to be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Likely a coincidence, unless there was a chemical or something in the water that was irritating the cories so they'd hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 carbon removes minerals from the water, making ferts useless. Why would u do that to a planted tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
