Next step...

Hey,

I've had my tank since early August 2004, so its about 8 months old. Have a look at my signature to see what fish I have.

Things seem to be settling down now, and I was thinking about where to go next. Shall I wait for a few months then rethink, or shall I get some new fish? More plants? Any suggestions more than welcome.


Thanks.

Umm.... I'd say get some more cories (especially bronze) or neons, as these like to be in groups, and the bigger the better. What type of algae eater have you got? I'd say your about fully stocked though.

We did have another bronze cory but it died not too long ago. We also used to have 8 neons but two of them died too. Sad story really.

I'm not too sure what algae eaters we have, I wasn't there when my dad went to buy them and now he can't remember. Do you have a link which has pictures and names of eaters?? I might be able to identify them.

Try the fish index.Its under the newbie section. You could take a picture or describe them if you still can't find them.

actually, albino and bronze corys are the same species! how fortuituous!

really, i'd just add more plants and hold off on the fishies. it looks like you've got a good mix already. the easiest way to fancy up a fully stocked tank is by adding more plants.

Ok thanks, under what section in the fish index can I find the algae eaters in?
