I m wondering if it would be ok to keep corys in a tank with a glosso carpet and very little substrate showing.
And carpeting plants are ideal and the corydoras will enjoy rummaging amongst the base to find scraps of trapped food.
I keep several species of corys with my livebearers and as long as you leave some open areas the corys aren t destructive.
Additionally your aquarium lighting will affect every plant differently with some plants thriving in low light situations better than others.
Corydoras are diggers but your post reads like your carpet plants stay pretty well anchored in the substrate.
Open areas are also used for scavenging activities and the most important thing here is the substrate which should.
The substrate is eco complete and there are a few patches of it showing underneath the driftwood and in between some crypt parva but apart from that it s plants all the way.
Unless you carpet first about a year then add corys.
