Its hard to tell but the other female seems to have a saddle

Yeah they seem very happy!

I just want to be sure they are still very small at about a week old

I say it’s fairly dense, and I have quite a bit of Java moss.

December 6th I added 6 cherry shrimp to my tank, one of the females berried up not too long after, she had the babies on jan. 25th I've counted around 25-30. Ive been waiting to add my schooling fish, I want to add something small like ember tetras. I was going to wait until the babies are big...

I’ve tried multiple times, sadly no improvement? . I can see if I can get a replacement

Hob filter has been making this noise since I got it, I would like to stop it since it’s in my bedroom. It’s a topfin

Thanks for the help and ideas everybody, I have the serpaes separated (in a breeders box in the same tank) I will take them in tomorrow. Im thinking of what fish to replace them with and am open to any other ideas!:)

?. Any opinions on rasboras. Ive heard of chili rasboras, harlequin rasboras, and galaxy reasboras. Are they peaceful? I think they are

Would that many be ok in this tank and stocking? And I heard they are super peaceful, is that true?

They would be going in a thirty gallon, with a young bn, 4 corys and 4 cherry shrimp. How many would you say would go in this tank?

Yes they are very pretty, I have been doing some research for the past week because I noticed the fin nipping.

I keep reading more about the serpae tetras, and all I hear is that people get more of them and get live plants and then the tetras are fine. But I have 16 and a well planted tank! Did I just get a mean batch of serpaes??

I can get around 16 thats how many serpaes I have that I'm replacing

Im thinking of getting the ember tetras they sound like a better choice

I just called my lfs and she said that she would take them and give me in-store credit

Ive been reading it sounds like the ember tetras are very peaceful and sound like a great replacement.

I like the look of the flame tetra (they look very similar to the serpae). But I really need a peaceful fish, I don't want to try these and find out their mean too, anyone know if there peaceful?. Any experiences with the ember tetra?

A peaceful schooling fish is what I really need

Ill see what my options are for replacing them, I'm gonna miss the red color! I was really want a red schooling fish.

Wish I would have heard this beforehand. Hopefully, my lfs will take them back!

I considered it, but heres what went through my head. -she might not take them because they are injured (the nipped fins) - I wanted a peaceful community tank -I also have other inhabitants and I'm afraid if I remove the corys the tetras will harass the others. There are cherry shrimp and a...

I am going to call the store tomorrow and see if she will take them (and maybe refund them). If so I will take them asap. I will remove the cories meanwhile to help them.

They are bronze corydoras. I was just thinking of moving the serpae i ddnt think about moving the corys. The other tank is 20l x 10w x 12h. Do you think she'll refund or no?

Yes that sounds a lot like my situation, I heard that they should be fine with the corys but they aren't. The serpaes do the exact same thing, they will get close then nip the dorsal fin or the tail of the cory. I talked to my lfs and she said they should be fine together as well. She...

The only extra tank I have is a ten-gallon I won't put them in there it is too small. I'd be fine with returning them to the original store they take good care of the tanks and fish. I was really hoping there was something I could do to rid of the problem so I could keep them. I would also like...

:( I really liked these fish, I wish they worked out better! I can ask my lfs if they will take them back, Id rather keep them but I wanna do whats best.

I have a group of four corydoras and a bn pleco in my aquarium, they were in there over a month before I added the tetras. I researched the tetras before purchasing them, I read that serpae's are semi-agressive. But I really like this fish, so I researched more. I read they would not nip at the...

The dimming function is great and the light has been growing my plants very well (not a single plant has died or done badly) its been two months. But I recently got the monte carlo and I want it to carpet so I feel I need a longer light period. I have it on a timer but the light does not offer...

Ok sounds good, every morning and afternoon I will make the transition smoother for the fish. I'll turn the lights on for 10 hours and monitor for algae growth and react accordingly. Does this sound appropriate? And thank you so much!

Ok sounds good! So how long would you recommend I turn the time up to? I want it so the plants grow really well, yet the algae doesn't go crazy.?

First of all thank you to all the people that have answered my past questions in the journey of my first planted tank! Aquarium specs 29 gallon 75 degrees f serpae tetras, corydoras, bn pleco, cherry shrimp (all doing great together) nicrew full spectrum light canister filter My plants...

Why wouldn't all the fish be doing the same thing they were all introduced at the same time. I'm gonna do more frequent water changes like recommended. I don't know what you mean by "flashing off objects"

It is not a new aquarium it was a month and a week old when I introduced the corydoras. I let the aquarium cycle (at set up I put prexisting bio-filter media from another tank) I waited a month and then checked the water parameters for two weeks after the month and they were stable.

Should I quarantine him?

I do once a week already how often do you suggest?

I might have found a problem, the output on my canister filter isn't near as strong as it used to be. There must be a clog or something slowing it.
