just the pleco and some snail 10g with power filter there a spone on the intake and sponge filter
You may have a few fry hiding still. My fry tanks I do half gravel, half bare bottom. It works for me and is easy to clean. I wouldn't do all gravel since they have to be fed lots.
how u do half and half? one side gravel the other bare? thank for answering the questions
Yes. I keep small aquaclear filters on the small fry tanks with a spong over the intake. That's the side I put 1/3 or 1/2 gravel. The other side is bare and that's where I drop the food. I usually have a small piece of driftwood, maybe a small plant in the gravel or in a pot. Very easy to completed clean the gravel and tank bottom for me. You have to be careful of a biofilm buildup if you leave it totally bare bottom. Maybe not so much the plecos because they clean the glass, but I would not do it for fish like cories.
