I bought 6 of these guys today. They are so striking in the tank!! I see how they are way under rated. Glad I picked them:) I have a small school of harlequin rasboras also and a larger school of neons. They seem to be doing fantastic so far and it's only been a few hours:) In a little bit I...

Does anyone have these? Are they generally hardy and easy going? Any and all info would be great!

Yeah, the freshwater ones. They are so intriguing but not sure about their upkeep or anything.

Can anyone tell me about Flounder. I've been seeing them in various LFS and find them very intriguing. Just wondering if anyone had any and how they are to keep?

Did either say why they no longer sell otos? That's weird because today I went to my LFS and couldn't find the otos either. I didn't see them in the usual tank and they were no where else to be found. sigh. They were cool, but I never had great luck with them. I was hoping I would get some for...

I had no intentions of getting 1 of each! :)

I didn't think there was aggression, but I wasn't positive. Thanks!:)

This may seem silly to some, but I was just wondering... Will different types of corys school together or do they all have to be the same type in order to school? Also are most cory varieties suitable to be placed together? Are some meant to be kept separate from each other? I am looking to add...

My pleco loves the shrimp pellets I put in for the corys.

I've had pandas before. I just didn't seem to have luck with them though. They were never super active, like the brochis I have now. Those guys are so entertaining:) I will look into the other kinds though! Any ideas on what kind of fish would be good if I was looking for (mostly) peaceful...

Wow thank you for all that helpful info. I feel stupid, but it's still hard to tell them apart. I am guessing mine are the brochis. I will count the dorsal rays on my guys and see what I find out:) The guys that I have look exactly like this...

I bought this guy as a "small pleco" and it seems some think that isn't what he/she is. Can you guys help? Sorry for the bad pics. <img src="http://www.freewebs.com/phatose/000%5F0030.jpg"> <img src="http://www.freewebs.com/phatose/000%5F0026.jpg">

I'll try to get a pic of my pleco, but I don't know how well that will go over lol! He has been perfectly fine with my current group though. The guys I have now are Corydoras aeneus, well that is what they told me, and they are probably the most reputable LFS in this area. I'm no expert though...

No he is a small pleco. That picture isn't of him,but it looks similar in markings.

I know they generally like groups of at least 6. 4 are just what I currently have. I'd like to get a mix too- since I have 2 greens now, try to do a few different varieties. The albinos don't really strike my fancy, I've overlooked them every time I go to my LFS. I was thinking maybe 12 total...

He is a small pleco. That's all I really know about him, as that's how he was labeled. He looks like this: <img src="http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/314_dscf3365qb6_1.jpg"> He seems very peaceful with everyone else in the tank. The 2 corys are emerald greens. They have been thriving. As far as...

How many cories would be appropriate for a 55 gallon? I have 2 from my 30 gallon that will be transferred. I also have 1 small pleco and some fish. Any other suggestions as far as what would be compatible with serpea tetas, lemon tetas and harlequin raspboras? I like color variations, and have...

I bought all new subtrate. I don't want to use any of the old subtrate.

Alright. Well I bought new subtrate and new stuff. If I transfer the water from the 30 gallon, will it be enough initially? Then just add water as I would if I were doing water changes etc? I just worry that is going to be an awful lot of added water. Or do you mean I should heat the water I...

Hey guys, I currently bought a bigger tank and had a few questions. Right now I want to switch my current guys over to this new tank, but I want to be sure I do it properly and safely. The tank I have now is a 30 gallon. The tank I just bought is a 55. How on earth do I switch them over to the...

I've been thinking about something lately. It's not set in stone, and if it's too hard, I just won't do it. I'd like to eventually switch over to an all black gravel. My question is this: Is there any way I can safely completely redo my tank, including switching out the gravel, in a timely...

Wow I just checked out that link! They are amazing. I had no idea! I've never seen that at my LFS or any in the area. I think tonight we'll go out and see what to get , if anything. If they have some of the options, who knows:O) Thanks so much for everything!

Wow, I'll have to look into those. I'm just interested in seeing what the chocolates look like, probably not something I'd get anytime soon though.

Thanks for the info discus! Germ- thanks for clarifying. I didn't know that, and it's pretty important! I'm glad I posted here before going out and getting a few more fish.... The other fish forum that I was a member at seems to be undergoing maintenance right now.

The pitbull, as I had mentioned. I'm confused , why are the dwarf gouramis a totally different matter?! That's important to know as I had my eye on them.

I had wanted a pitbull pleco before my tank was even cycled, but I remember being talked out of it on another forum due to large amounts of waste production(I believe). Don't gourami need more of a planted tank and floating plants? I think that is what stopped me before. I had my eye on...

I will look into the black phantom tetras and also the dwarf neon rainbowfish! Thanks so much guys! Any other suggestions are more than welcome!

Currently I have a few otocinclus and some cories also. The cories are hilarious! They're very active and entertaining. I was looking for something to add some more color to the tank though. The sunburst platy seemed pretty, but I'm not sure if it would be ideal. Also I seemed interested in the...

Anyone at all?????

LOL that's so true about zebras. They are quite cool!

Thank you for the reply! I forgot to mention they are zebra danios! They seem to have gotten along with just about whatever I've had in there. Platys(sunburst for one) caught my eye, as did lemon tetras, cherry barbs, and gold barbs. I am doing research now, but didn't know if anyone had any...

I have a 30gallon tank. Currently it has a small school of neons and about 4 danios. What would be good to add with those 2 kinds of fish? I was looking at platys, but don't know if they would be a good choice. I would like something colorful and obviously low on the aggressive scale. Any...
