New Tank. The story so far...

So far the fish have been in for nearly two days and my naughty cory's on trees reverted to type, (even though they have a new sandy beach) climbed up the new Cambomba Caroliniana, slept in it for a bit and have completely broken it! Took it out this afternoon, after it had shed everywhere.
Other than that - they all seem to like their new home, and are whizzing around the new space.
I Think I need a new camera as mine isn't taking great photo's, but will keep trying.
Faith

My experience with cabomba is that is does much better as a floating plant. Anytime I've tried to plant it, it breaks and sheds like crazy, and clogs filters and such. I've sworn off of it for that reason. Maybe the cories didn't have so much to do with it, rather than it being planted?

Ditto with Harpua. I've got the same plants in my tank and found them to fair better, greener when floating. I tried planting them and they turned brown.
