My males getting "acquainted":

Whole tank:

I got the exact m<f ratio I wanted and the male I got was HUGE!
The fish have already showed signs of breeding and they are exploring the tank thoroughly and very actively

Congrats on the newbies, Rocky...they look good, already coloring up nicely

Any time you introduce new fish, you should dim the lights on the tank and surrounding areas, and keep activity outside of the tank to a minimum, as much as possible...this will aid in the acclimation process, newly introduced fish are naturally stressed from being bagged/shipped/etc...let them explore their new home with as little outside distraction as possible

I know it's exciting, but you'll have plenty of time to enjoy them once they become completely comfortable

Thanks!!!

I'll dim the lights slowly for them and then turn it off so it can turn on tomorrow then!
The corydoras have been sifting the sand like crazy!
