Hi I was thinking of setting up my bowl with a male fighter some time soon but I was also thinking of putting about three oto's in there to keep the bowl both clean and active. Now my question is is can I avoid putting a filter in there? I have a small filter sat here but I would prefer not...

Its my new 28 gallon tank so it should be fine, I think I'll just get 3 more of each though and leave it at that as the tank is going to be hogged by livebearers! The ones I have in there so far al seem to shoal quite happily and are really active but I'm more than happy to get some more in...

After doing a few comparisons I'd say the albinos were C.Aneus

Hi I've just bought six cory's and was wondering if the numbers were ok? I've basicaly got 3 albino and 3 peppered and was thinking they should shoal together nicely? So far seems so good but I was just wondering if my assumption was correct? I'm planning on getting an additional 6 Skunk...

I'm on the whole survival of the fittest side of the fence with this one. I've had my tanks for about 6 months now but have only just got into the whole livebearer scene. I'm setting up my new tank with several platys, swordtails and mollies along with a few cory's ( I realise the cory's...

The guy I bought them from had literally described them as a sucker fish two silver catfish and a shark of some kind. I was happy to take them because I knew that if I didn't want them there would be someone local that could take them and give them a good tank to live in. I've already got two...

Cool well it looks like all 4 need a bigger tank sooner or later so I'm just gonna ship them off to my LFS to trade them in.

Lovin that set up really nice lush green and well balanced over the different levels. Can't wait to start work on planting my new/third tank now :)
