It is time to introduce a few bottom dwellers, and I decided on getting 8 Corydoras pygmaeus (see picture) and 2 Otocinclus sp. One Neritina sp. Zebra also joined this planted community.
I disconnected the DIY CO2 and will continue dosing Carbon via Easy Carbo (liquid organic carbon). The plants are looking very well. I added a few Hygrophila sp. to help controlling nutrients. I am maintaining a strong surface agitation for better gas exchange. Fish is behaving normal. The Apistogramma couple got fry. The female is taking care alone, chasing the male away...strange, or maybe not. Temperature is at 29' C.
