I have a couple of those cories, they look great in a tank and have great little personalities, always being busy rummaging about. They are expensive, got mine for £16 each from MA's Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Thanks everyone for your suggestions... I've never really thought about pencils, I'll have to have a closer look at some. I've always liked the cherry barbs but I already have a bit of red with the odessas so I'm looking for something a bit different. Is there anything that may be hiding...

Hey all, Although my dwarf gouramis, odessa barbs and orange laser cories are brilliantly colourful, none of them really 'pop' or 'flash' under the lights like I know some cardinal or neon tetra would, they all kind of blend in a little or keep under cover in the plants or shadows the majority...

Wow I love the vibrant life 'above ground' and the void 'underground' Really interesting scape! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Hi all, Just a quick update, it turns out he had a fairly large piece of moss lodged in the back of his mouth. I was watching him with some food as he has not eaten in quite a few days now and noticed when a piece of flake sank straight into his mouth that he spat it back out again. At this...

Haha true, you have to admire his enthusiasm though! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

So apparently cyanobacteria is to thank for everything on earth's sense of sight... I feel bad now for trying my hardest not to encourage its growth! Thanks BBC for 'the wonders of life' I always find that kind of thing fascinating! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Cheers guys I've already tried a quick dip but ill continue to keep him in the hospital tank doing frequent small water changes and will just hope for the best. Cheers for all your inputs! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I've already got the sick one in a hospital tank, un treated with anything at the mo, will try the 30 min dip as suggested above. If he recovers I will definitely consider adding a female. Would 1 do or should I add more? Is there a recommended m/f ratio? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Oh ok yeah maybe someone may know if I've got a problem having 2 males and no females. I've not noticed much bullying to date, if anything its the 'bully' that's not well, they have fairly separate territories of tall plants they can hide in at either end of the tank. They usually only chase...

Its not actually, I got two pairs but both females died not too long after getting them due to me being impatient and adding too many fish at once and over loading the filter! The two remaining males have been fine since though until yesterday. Does it make much difference both being males...

Thanks for you comments and that video link. Great video, ill definitely give that a go. Do you think 30 mins is enough or should I go for the 2 week/new fish approach? I've had the fish pretty much from the start, perhaps 4 months. I have 2, the other seems fine. Sent from my GT-I9100...

Hi everyone, hopefully you can help my dwarf gourami! Last night I found him laying on his side on a branch of my wood. He was breathing fairly heavily but not excessively. He seemed ok the day before. I caught him and put him in a hospital tank to keep an eye on him. He seems very...

I've heard of mixed success with fissidens grown this way as its a fully aquatic moss usually. I have tried it on a rock like this and it all looked good to begin with, I even submerged it after a couple of weeks and it held on quite well and seemed in good condition, well, until I put it in a...
