Dragonstone + River rocks?

I have dragonstone and Mopani wood in a 10 gallon, but the amount of dragonstone I have is so little because it’s so expensive in my area. Should I add river stones/pebbles as well as the dragonstone or remove the dragonstone and do only river pebbles? Thanks!

PS. If you have any tips on how to mix the rock types and make them look good please share!

How to warm up to scared pygmies?

Photo for added cuteness.

I have only 3 Pygmy Corydoras in my tank (saving up to get more, but so far they’re doing okay) and they always go into hiding when I enter the room their tank is in. Even with guppies as dither fish they still hide in the back and don’t usually eat when I’m there watching. Is there a way to help this until I can get more of them? Thank you! 🫧

Is this guy morbidly obese?

Title says it all 😂 This guy hogs all the food and has always been considerably bigger than his adopted siblings. If he is fat, is there a way I should feed him separately without stressing him by putting him in a breeder box every time I feed? Thank you for the help!

Brown stomach on male

Self-explanatory title, but I just got back from 3 days away and my yellow male here has a brown stomach I’ve never seen before. Did he eat something brown in color or is it fecal matter or something serious? Thanks in advance!

Finally, a food they enjoy

This is the first sinking food I’ve witnessed my Pygmies eat! Repashy Community Plus is the best!

What are my pygmies doing?

Occasionally I catch them sort of sniffing the wall, are they looking outside the tank or munching on biofilm? Either way it’s a cute behavior! 🫧
