Thanks again for the guidance! Will look him up

Thanks man and appreciate all the advice so far. I don’t mind saying that I live in Halifax so if you have any suggestions where to find Pygmy cories that would be great

Sure thing. Temperature is about 78 degrees and pH is 7. Do t know GH and KH offhand but water in our city is considered very soft if that helps. Using same filter that came with the tank - Fluval flex 9 gallon tank. Substrate is fine black sand and tank has artificial plants and a piece...

Hello all, Looking for an alternative to Pygmy cories for my 9G fluval flex. Spoke with my LFS peeps and apparently they are very hard to come by where I live. I have 10 ember tetra and looking for something (other than shrimp or snails) to pair with them. Any thoughts?

Correct. Tank was cycled prior to the first 7 embers going in. Thanks again for the tips!

No live plants at this time. Fake plants, driftwood and stone on black sand substrate

Yeah good call. Think I will stick with the embers and Pygmy cories

Hi all, Added my 7 ember tetra to my 9G Fluval Flex a few days ago. As per suggestions on this site, going to build up the school to 12. I used an already cycled filter from another tank on this new one so how long should I wait before adding another 5 embers? No signs of ammonia, nitrites or...

Good idea. Maybe a female betta

Excellent. Thanks man!

So 12 embers and 12 or so Pygmy cories. I like that combo - thanks man! This will all work in the 9G flex?

Thanks for this. I do indeed have a fine sand substrate so pygmies would work great. What other “dwarf Cory” species are there? Hasborosus? How many Pygmy Cory or dwarf cories could I have in this setup?

Hi everyone, I have a 9G Fluval Flex that I just added 7 ember tetra to. Thinking I might add another couple embers and then looking for other stocking suggestions. Any ideas?

Cool - thanks!

Hi all, Please see photos attached - is this a male or female dwarf pea puffer?

Hi everyone, I see many differing opinions online regarding whether or not tank mates are a good idea to keep with a single pea puffer. I have one in a 9gal Fluval Flex with sand substrate, densely planted and with spider wood and stone. Lots of hiding places. Curious to hear your opinions...

Ok thanks for the advice. Any other cleanup crew you would suggest?

OK cool. Thanks!

14 x 13 x 13 (LxWxH in inches)

I meant to add that they are all male guppies and only looking to add more males

Hi everyone, I've started a second Fluval Flex 9 Tank that's cycled and I just added 4 Fancy Guppies yesterday. Wondering how many guppies I could eventually stock it with along with the number of pygmy or panda cories I might be able to add in the future as well (sand substrate is in place)...

Thanks very much for the advice!

Hi all, I have 3 pea puffers in a 10g and one of them stopped eating a few days ago, is breathing heavy, not moving much and I saw him barrel rolling this morning. I've had them for a couple of months and have been religiously monitoring water conditions, weekly 30-50% water changes, weekly...

Hey everyone, I've got 3 pea puffers in a fluval flex 9 and all is going great! Was thinking about changing my substrate from gravel to sand and maybe adding some kuhli loaches. Do you think this would work? I've heard it might be best to keep them in a species only setup but would love to...

Awesome! Thanks!!

Hello everyone, I have a few questions about tank maintenance for my Fluval Flex with 3 Pea Puffers. Any help would be greatly appreciated: 1. How often should I gravel vac the substrate (gravel substrate)? Once per week? I've had the puffers in for almost a week and have been testing my...

Good point. It’s keeping my nitrate levels way down!

It’s been setup for about 6wks and fully cycled. Just added the puffers a week ago.

Thanks for this. No live plants at this point. Just fake ones.

Hello - I have a 10g with 3 pea puffers. Heavily planted and doing really well but have only had the fish in for about a week. Have some algae and biofilm growth and wondering if there are any good suggestions for bottom dwellers or other cleanup crew? I’m mindful that the puffers may go after...

Thanks for all the help. Heading to the LFS today so looking forward to it!!

Thanks! PH is 7.

Thanks guys. Sounds like maybe a school of chili or some other micro rasbora and a snail might be the way to go. Do you a few pea puffers would work instead?

Substrate is Topfin black gravel.

Thanks for this. Do you think I could do some bottom dwellers with the shoal? ie: kuhli loaches or pygmy cories?
