What is your exact readings for ammonia & nitrite?

Apart from your overstocking...i would aim at the kribs attacking the poor cory... kribs are known to remove eyes of corys,mainly because they become aggressive and possessive around the bottom of the tank,especially if they're in breeding mode.

How did you cycle your tank? was it a fishless cycle adding ammonia?? Nitrite seems excessively high....

Ebay has gold lasers for sale and rare aquatics sell both,but are pricey

Lush Cory, fab pic too :good:

Yep i second the range :good: good smaller pieces for £1.99 and i got a nice large piece for £12.99 for my big tank a few weeks ago... saved me £££££ compared to lfs large pieces of bogwood :)

Possibly blue tetras or Cardinals to start with.... they had both in Maidenhead aquatics.... but might end up with something different :rolleyes: :lol:

Just wondering if angelfish would be ok with corys,harlequinsa DG and possibly blue tetras or cardinals? Would like a pair but don't want to upset my other fish... New tank is 24" deep,5 ft long, 19 wide... ph around 7.8-8 Thanks :)

Some of you might remember i entered some flower/garden competitions while back, well i just heard i've won first prize of £50 for my front window boxes & baskets from Curo in bloom :hyper: :hyper: - which had 45 entrants!!! well shocked!! lol!! Still waiting regarding the Local Keynsham in...

I love all corys... but for being the most cheeky i went for Pandas :lol:

Thanks :good:

wheres you going? , pm me :P

You'll be back...dont give up... :lol: What better ship have you jumped to anyway??

Its just the done thing to destroy the eggs from cross breeds,there is enough cross breeds in the world without adding more to the cory world...just the way cory lovers feel...

Update - :) My new 5 footer has arrived for the new cory home :hyper: - moved the 20 gals out the way for the time being with the growing bronze & albino younsters...they will go in the 4 footer eventually... Here's how far i've got - tank up in situ,need to go shopping for sand & backing...

if the sterbai & peppereds have cross bred,then personally i wouldn't save the eggs...

Here's a pic of new tank :) - off shopping later :P It has four doors,but have left them off at mo, has holes need drilling in back of the cabinet for the externals/wires etc... I need to do a leak test,but want to put the backing on first... do you think plain blue backing will look too...

I received delivery of my new 5 foot tank today 410 litres :hyper: :good: Very nice delivery man used his trolley to get it into the house, very good service,has it was suppose to be kerb side delivery only. After spending a few hours putting the cabinet together with no instructions, and 4...

Thanks :) Love the blue/king blue tetras :wub: The new tank comes today.can't wait :hyper:

Congrats on your find....i do hope they survive :good: I've found cory fry and guppys in my filters before now :)

When my albinos spawn - they'll all eat the eggs,especially the pandas & DG :rolleyes:

Good news...Tank will be here on Monday :hyper: my day off...so i need to clear the space in the kitchen,atm it has the 20 gals on the table, so need to part drain it to move it,to get the table & chairs out,which dont get used anyway :rolleyes: :lol: Then hopefully once the new one is set...

Thats the trouble, if you try taking them off too quick,they pop... leave them and they'll more than likely get munched... :rolleyes:

Roll on monday :hyper: :good:

Thanks :good:

Check the ammonia/nitrite if both zero then more than likely the gouramis &/or tiger barbs are nipping their fins...

Just looked these up,they're rather cute compared to standard BN's :good:

Thanks for the info :) There will be wood in the tank anyway :)
