Artificial Grass and Cory Cats

Want to use this in a QT, just do not like the bare bottom look.
All other issues aside, with it being a QT, would this be a bad choice for Corys?

This product is made for outdoor play in a park for kids, its astro terf, but I dont know if it is inert, I dont know if it is too sharp, and I dont know if it will sink or stay sunk, or create a gap were your fish may get trapped under. I dont know what materials hold it together. why not use gravel or sand?

Sorry, Noroomforshoe, but the ad says it’s made for fish tanks and I can see no reason it wouldn’t serve the purpose. If it won’t stay down it might need a rock or two holding it down.

You’re right that an outdoor artificial turf would be very risky to use. It can contain assorted materials you’d never want in a fish tank, like ground up tires, which are used as an infill layer for weight to keep it in place on the ground.

I have a fake rock "hide" with Anubias planted, and some other live plants in pots to keep it down along with 2 sponge filters.

I was just wondering how cory would do on "grass" not gravel/sand bottom

I wouldn’t expect it to cause problems and if it’s in a QT, it’s short term anyway.
