Hey - I totally get that! That's why I paid £3.20 for these! I'm so stinking impatient lol. My MA had them in but I was going to have to wait 5 days to get them because they had just arrived in store and were settling in lol - so I trotted on over to Dobbies and paid a fortune for them because I wanted them NOW! *sigh* now I'm not THAT wild on them, though they are very pretty I think they are kind of weird in my tank My husband absolutely loves them though, hey ho!
I've never kept dwarf corys but yes, I understand that they swim around a lot more than "regular" corys do
Re: Shrimp - Yeah I would think so, let your tank mature for a while first though. Shrimp don't produce much waste at all so unless you get like a huge population of them they don't really "count" so to speak. Be sure and get some moss or something for them, they like that
spending that on them if you love them is one thing, but to spend that on them and then not even like them that much. Mind you, if the hubby loves them and it keeps him happy maybe worth the £40?
I have the patience of a petulant child some times. I am SO glad I've had a head start in the cycling process... I think a two month wait would send me crazy... . However, we want the fish to be happy so will just have to wait. Even my 7 year old is getting annoyed at being dragged around looking at fish all the time. .
I've watched some videos of the dwarf corys, they seem quite active little things.
I will look into the moss, its not hard to find really is it.
Shrimp will be fine with corys and endlers they also like java fern and java moss
I have java fern, so will get some java moss if I get shrimp ...thanks Oh, do they like moss balls? I have 2 of those already in another tank?
