Zebra's and Ammonia toxicity
Ok, here is my problem.... I set up a 100litre tank a few months back. I have had ammonia in there ever since. I have 4 adult zebs in there and a few Cory's.

Corydoras Catfish with Zebra's
I just wondered if anyone thinks there would be much benifit in keeping some Corydoras in my exclusive Zebra plec tank?
