I think the sparklers or honeys could look awesome in my tank! I've kept both in the past with success and I've always liked the personality that gouramis have... Just called my LFS and they have...

I recently sold my gardneri killifish because my galaxy rasboras and endlers kept mysteriously disappearing, so now I've got:

8 dwarf cories
5 galaxy rasboras
3 endlers

... in a 20 gallon...

Speaking from experience, you might have trouble keeping a single pearl in a 26 gallon with smaller, peaceful community fish... I kept two (male/female) in a 55 gallon with hardy boesemani and red...

That looks like a female to me (the shiny blue dots on her side black marking)...

Whether or not you can keep another GBR in your tank depends on the size of your tank. The minimum tank size for...

An update: Another gardneri has fallen ill (the one who was sick the day before yesterday). That's two now that are just laying at the bottom not even trying to swim. I did a quick 50% water change...

P.S. Also forgot to add that they are two females and one male, and I haven't noticed any bullying whatsoever.

I forgot to add they are fed a rotation of spirulina flake, micro pellet (they are only juvies about an inch and a half in length) and frozen bloodworms.

One of my three gardneris was looking quite lethargic the day before yesterday so I slowly added 6 teaspoons of aquarium salt yesterday throughout the day (it's a 10 gallon tank).

Today he is...

Great advice from MandyK above.

Just test your params often and remember to shoot for keeping your nitrates under 20 ppms; the rest is gravy if you stay on top of your water changes.

If you're only changing 8 gallons of water a week, why not invest in two of those 5 gallon water jugs and buy R/O water from your local water store or aquarium shop? My BF does this weekly for his...

Great advice, thank you! I see your logic with not gravel vac-ing and I'm going to take your advice. I feel now like my water changing might be a bit excessive though... I'll just monitor my nitrates...

I have a question regarding breeding killies. I've currently two (I could not buy a trio) in a heavily planted 10 gallon tank where the only filtration is a 20 gallon sponge filter. I'm trying to get...

An update: I lost all but two of my cardinals (8 total dead, though some I'm just assuming because they went missing and I never found them) and none of the others (dwarf cories, endlers, galaxy...

Micro-pellet, algae wafers, spirulina flake, and frozen bloodworm. I try to rotate what they eat. Does this seem like a healthy diet?

An update: I found another dead cardinal today. Something is most definitely up; that's four dead fish in three days when this tank has prior been without a single death since I can't even...

EDIT: I'm reading the packaging of the small heaters I pre-treat the water with... they are preset to 78 f +/- 2 degrees, not 78 f exactly... so I'm assuming it could reach up to 80 f. Ughh! Stupid,...

Well it's now the next morning and I'm grateful to report no additional losses as of yet.

In response to all your help the gravel is siphoned every other week; is that often enough? It seems to be...

Yesterday. I change 50% of the water every fourth day.

I lost two cardinals and one galaxy rasbora today. They looked a little bloated and pale. Please see my profile for my stocking list. My params are as follows: Nitrate <10, Nitrite 0, Ammonia 0, ph...

I see. Poor guy... Having once been bullied myself throughout middle school, I feel for him... LOL :scry:

The tiniest of my cardinals always looks "beat-up" and tired as in his fins are nipped pretty bad (he only has half his rear fins right now), and I've identified the other cardinals as the culprits....

Good to know... I'll pass on the flagfish for now... I'm way more fond of my cories, endlers and rasboras.

Muchas gracias!

I saw some american flagfish at my LFS today and I'm in love! I was told by an employee that they'd be compatible with my current stock...

pygmy cories
endlers
galaxy rasboras
cardinal tetras...

Listen to what people here are telling you... it is all excellent advice from really good people who know what they are talking about, hands down.

Dwarf cichlids are just too darn territorial to...

I've had luck keeping endler's and dwarf cories with bettas, but then again I've had bettas that would not even tolerate a snail... they have such unique personalities. You'll have to try and see...
