I added more Corys to this community, 6 small Corydoras habrosus. They seem to be adapting very well, eating well, shoaling with each other and with the C. pygmaeus. These Corys sure are special. On the photo above, one can see one Barclaya longifolia 'Red' leaf. This plant "died" just before the winter, leaving no leaves behind. I thought it simply died, maybe wrong fert dosing regime, too much of certain nutrient, or too little...but I was wrong. This is a seasonal plant, and with spring it starts to live again, shooting out new leaves.
My 2 Otos are also doing extremly well. They are grazing over stones, plants and substrate, even feeding on Infusoria sticks Protogen with the rest of the community. This Oto has a very nice patern on the back.
