    I've seen somewhere that cory cats are susceptable to having their whiskers and undersides cut up by Ecocomplete substrate. Anyone had experience with this, if this does happen could you put a thin layer of black sand on top of the Ecocomplete?

    I don't know how rough ecocomplete is, but I know cory cats are sensitive to rough substrate because they're on the bottom all the time. If you put a layer of sand over something with a larger grain size, the sand will just end up on the bottom of it over time.
