We all began just like you are. In a year you’ll be spitting out advice on everything. :)

Mine are in with a couple leftover zebra danios, cherry barbs, a bristlenose pleco who I never see, and some golden White Cloud Mountain minnows. They hang with the barbs. The only issue I have is that the minnows prefer cooler water and the glowlights prefer warmer. I compromise by keeping...

My cories let me know if my nitrates are getting high by ducking air and staying at the top. I had one doing this the other fir most f day. Finally checked parameters and nitrate as over 40 which is unusual for that tank. I did a 70% water change and within a couple of hours, the Cory was...

I have some that are well over 2 years, closer to 3 years old and still going.

You guys can search topic: parasites and member: Colin_T to find his posts on different topics. If it looks like an external parasites, you can use API General Cure in the U.S. It would be helpful if you let us know where you are located in your profile section but hope this helps some. :)...

Glowlights are great little fish! :)

Well, everyone is going to love me here but livebearers are boring. They spit out a fry then you raise the fry and get rid of them. First couple of times is fun but then, blah! If you really want to use your skills and like a challenge, then raise some egg bearers. You care for the eggs and...

Very good info! I also wouldn’t house peaty guppies with them. :)

It sales through EBay. I’ve heard a lot about The Wet Spot. Glad to know someone who has used them. :)

I got him from Bio Acuatica. Thanks for the info. :)

Thanks, Essjay!

My tank is at 77F. Close. Hmmm.

Aww, little too far for me. I’m in Texas. Have you checked to see if you have a goldfish rescue in your area? They really do exist. Petco takes rescue animals too although not sure about a fish. They might let you post an ad in the store.

Well, heck! Explains why mine hatched in 2.5 days. Lol!

I give them another full day to hatch. In a tank, I can see if they have turned white though and pretty much know which eggs are bad to remove.

Remember that I have 27 cories in one tank and they all spawn together. That’s why I get so many eggs. When I came in to feed early in morning they were spawning and eggs all over glass. I removed them with my fingers and dropped them into the nursery tank (I keep it up and runnng). I sat...

I only have the one batch right now...I get a different count every time I try. I know there are between 52 and 69. Lol! Here’s a few pics taken today. 5 weeks now!

Bb’s everywhere! They are looking good. I don’t think fry would eat a dead one. Snails will though. You are a great Cory mama. :)

OK. I ordered a pearl gourami. So excited! Thanks for all the help!

Good info. I’ll go talk to them.

I don’t know, I called them and asked specifically about pearls.

Now, back to my thread...can anyone suggest any other gourami’s?. Colin_T gave me several to consider but can’t locate some of them.

I measure head to tail on some fish. For instance, my comets and only to educate a member on how large the do get. For goldies, space needs to be included because most have a long tail. :)

Another member leaving. We have expierenced a lot of that recently.

Yes, I was a Mod at the time.

Sorry. Hit the reply when reading this. Please disregard. :)

Most of us will truly miss you, trash.binh91. :(

That’s the very thing people are leaving for. Just saying goodbye, in my opinion is like saying “I don’t care”. Maybe it’s just me. I’m sorry but it really sounds very rude on your part.

I’m sorry to hear that and sorry for my part in it. I have allowed myself to be caught up in it also. I’m trying to start over with more respect for others. I may be following you soon if this doesn’t straighten out. God bless!

That’s a pretty nice tank. Get the thing cycled and we can help with fish. Neon Tetras are known to be a starter fish but in my opinion, they no longer are. Lots of issues with them. I have about 50 of them but would not recommend them for a beginner any longer. If parameters are...

Yes, it makes since. As long as you have a filter that meets your aquarium size, you really don’t need 2. Saying that, I have 2 in several of mine also but only because I have fish with large bio loads (goldfish) in those. What you want to look for in a filter is the GPH (gallons per hour) it...

I understand that one!

You know what? I had neon and then changed it when I saw rummy. Read it off a reply. Was time for bed. Lol!

Was your tank relatively new when you added the cories? They like stable parameters and don’t always do well in new tanks. Best of luck. :)
