Well I got my cory's today, decided on 6 peppered cory's as they are very cute little chaps, looked very healthy and active.
These guys are fab! Settled right in and they are fascinating to watch! :goldfish: You can see the sand being sifted out of their gills as they burrow their mouths in to forage! One of the cherry barb males was a bit put out and was doing a bit of fin nipping but I think he's settled down now!

Will get some pics soon!

Tank now has - 5 neon tetra's, 6 cherry barbs, and 6 peppered cory's. 20 g long with Fluval 105 external filter.

Initial stocking suggestions I had were to add 2 blue rams (which I'd like to do) as a finale, am I still ok stock wide to do this once the cory's are fully settled? My local good aquarium shop can get them in (there was a lone on in there today, he was a beauty! But I resisted as it's too soon and I'd like a pair!). thumbs2:

Sounds good. I hope the little guys do well for you. I think you have a good stocking plan. I would give evryone a few weeks beforeadding the rams.

Yup I agree.Give the tank plenty of time to get established with the fish you have and the rams will do better in your tank.
Looking forward to the pics!

Sounds good thumbs2: I think the rams are doable once everything has settled in. Once they go in I think you are probably stocked, but it sounds like a nice tank.

great, yes the rams would be the final addition with no more, don't want to over stock. And yes I will bite my fingers now and wait at least a month before adding them, to ensure all is well with the current set up! :19:
