Oh shoot, some of those are really nice! Thanks for the suggestions, I will definately try those out when I make a stop over there again! Quick question, I have read that congo tetras also like to swim near the top of the water. would they be alright with my neons and corydoras? if so, then My...

In a nutshell, all the fish available to me is on this website: http://www.wazeersaquariums.co.za/ It is where I get most of my fish and it's only an hour's drive away from here. Edit: What if I replace my neon tetras with neon dwarf rainbowfish? They are a bit bigger and they swim a bit...

Ok, they really seem like amazing fish... I'll go for one or two of them then... but to get something for the top, could I rather replace my neon tetras with zebra danios?

So, I found out I can actually get some bolivian rams over here. Would a pair of bolivian rams be happy in my setup? infact, would bolivian rams be happy as just a male and female?

Ok, this helps a LOT! I just got those particular fish (I got 4 panda corys and 4 bronze corys.) and all of them settled within the first day, only riding the glass relaxedly once every half an hour or so (That I saw atleast) Except for two bronzies which always ride the glass up and down...

In that case, I might look at the platinum hatchetfish then O_O That sounds much better to be honest, if I can find it... To be honest... The only reason I don't "Like" a fish is because if I cannot find a fish I make myself sortof "dislike" it so I dont feel bad about not finding it :D if I do...

So, I know it's considered "Normal" or corydoras to swim up and down the glass (No, they are not doing it for air. if they want air, they just dart up from anywhere in my tank, not constantly against the tank. that's what I've observed.) But what exactly is this behavior? If I feed them it...

I have had very bad experiences and first impressions with dwarf gourami's, The panchax will be impossible for me to breed (Not to mention acquiring) and the rasboras... I have seen many of those and the harlequin rasboras in my LFS's and they all stay 3-4 inches from the ground only :(

Actually Now that I think about it, what about danios?

I LOVE that site, haha, I frequently read things there I find stupidly enjoyable... I can't test my water because I cannot find test kits and all the test kits (That I do find), even those paper test kits, are usually over the 90 USD over here, and those aren't even complete test kits. they are...

ok, thanks. I don't really like the look of hatchet fish and they are always at the litteral surface of the tank. I would like them to be a little lower, but still high. My tank is a 4 foot tank, 90 centimeters (I just measured it) and my TDS around here is around 95 (Just measured that too...

Ok, that's good to know. Is it true that they swim up a bit higher than neon tetras?

So, I've finished my aquarium's decor, have it stocked with 6 neon tetras and 8 corydoras (4 panda and 4 bronze) and I now want some fish that will focus a bit more on the middle-top area of the tank since the bottom is allready very active. Would a male and 2 or 3 female swordtails be...

Shoot, ok, I cannot actually afford a testing kit right now, they are stupidly expensive... But I got neon tetras, panda corydoras and dwarf gouramis in my tank if that helps... would it be alright with them? I atleast know that the TDS here is 110, but then again, TDS and GH are not the same...

Alright, then that's good to know, thanks :)

Hi again. I got some driftwood and just finished boiling it. I kind of like the look of darkwater aquariums and I was wondering if it could be worth it to save the water I boiled the wood in since its rreeaalllyyy dark and I can add a bit with my future water changes to darken the water a bit...

That's somewhat depressing. Oh well :/

Ah thanks :) If she is indeed a female, I'll be ecstatic! Gourami's are like, my new favorite fish... Mostly because I have never had Gourami's before :p They seem pretty smart actually for their size.

First two pictures are of the one I think may be a female. it is a bit lighter, yellow-orange-ish in color (lighter too) but very shy and "Kisses" the other gourami's side every now and then, then leaves it alone when it flees. The third picture, though bad, you can see how the "female" is a...

I'll post it now, in a few minutes. I highly suspect they are two males though, which is dissapointing :/

So, I just bought my first dwarf Gourami's and I'm curious about their genders. I know that the males have sharper/longer dorsal and anal fins and that they are more brightly colored than females and that females are supposed to be silver-ish and bigger... but I've also seen that some people...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help :)

Hi again. I just read that it is possible for a fish to ingest a small stone and that it can impact their health negatively if it is too big. currently I have a few corydoras (pandas, will replace them with 4 albino cories in a week or so) and some (6) neon tetras. I plan on getting some dwarf...

Thanks, that's true :) Hot damn, that's a really nice and interesting read! And yeah, i agree with what you mean and said at the very beginning, That and I'm a bit of a purist-freak myself, I don't like cross breeding and once I do breed a few fish, which i plan on doing, cos... its fun :D...

Ah, I see, even though Albino cories are nearly twice a panda's size? Thanks for letting me know, I'll see what I an do regarding this dilemma.

Lol, that's kinda scary, but thanks for the greetings anyways :D

Just joined and started my first tank (120 liters or 29 or something gallons) and have been looking at these forums for a while. it's been really helpful and I thought it's high time that I join it. Currently I have 6 Neon tetras and 2 panda cories. I plan on keeping the tetras, but the...

Hi guys! I Just signed up and will post my intro a bit later, but this takes priority for now. I am in love with my cory cats, and I'm wondering if it is fine to mix albinos and pandas. I mean, I know it's safe, but I just don't want them to interbreed. Thanks for any info :)
