I'd say the same, give it 48 hours - be patient :hey:

Well, this might be a case of the "water board" choosing that day to have a mains water pipe clean out. By vastly increasing the amount of chemicals they add into the water that day. They do this from time to time because soft water rots the pipework system. You might be unlucky that you did a...

I like the way the cory is resting in the plant

Well that's what I would have said do. Boil it and give it a good cleaning too.

Totally agree, don't confuse Silver Sharks with Red Tailed Sharks (which are more aggressive and territorial)

I like the Thermo Filters by Ehiem. It's always nice to not have a horrible heater in the tank that spoils the deco.

Hard to tell from the picture how strong that frame is. But I will say this. If it's a bolt together metal stand like you buy from BQ hardware store. Made from galvanized thin steel - forget it!!! I bought the stongest heavy duty ones they did for some 30inch tanks I had for breeding discus...

I think silica sand if I'm right is a man made synthetic sand which is very white and doesn't effect PH or hardness of water

I hear the most expensive types to buy are the red ones, whic can fetch large sums of money. I've never had aro. But I do like them.

I have 4 corys of the same species in my tank. They always feed together most of the time.

Juwel Filters are usually just siliconed on with 4 blobs of silicon, try using a long thin knife to push down behind the filter to cut through the first two blobs of silicon. If you have a thick glass tank thats 10mil or more. It should be quite easy to remove it without any need to strip your...

you could also try adjusting your lighting also, try to reduce the amount of time your lights stay on for. That can help also. If you have plants that con tolerate low light conditions, even better because you can reduce the light output.

from what I hear. getting corys to breed is not that easy. And if they do, you'll be lucky if you have a few survive

Well from what I can see, you seem to have the right tank mates to keep them with and good filteration in two external filters. You say you have a PH of around 7.2 - 7-4. To be honest my daughter is currently keeping discus using tap water and there doing fine a month later on. And she has a PH...

How about putting it in the microwave? Not sure what would happen, but it sure would zap and kill the bugs :crazy:

I keep Discus fish along some other smaller Tetras etc. I try to use frozen food in strict moderation. Instead feeding Discus Bits, Flake Food and Tetra Prima. I do feed some frozen bloodworm's at times for a change (which they go ballistic for). But I don't want my discus to start turning there...
