Interesting, I've never had any of mine do that. I wish I had something to tell you but let us know if it works out.

Mine are like in a crazy circus. If you sit and watch the tank, they often go through a high activity cycle swimming everywhere for a few hours then *poof* not a cory in sight for several hours. Mine...

I haven't even been trying... lol I feed tetracolor granules, algae wafers, and occasionally blanched veggies like romaine lettuce or zucchini. The tank is heavily planted and there are many hiding...

Are you sure its a marimo ball and not a wadded up clump of java moss? There are some less then reputable places that try this trickery...

Heh, congrats! I started with 6 cories almost 2 years ago. As of today, I have 14 after giving 9 away to a good home. They just won't stop spawning!! lol

I'm actually setting up a 75 for these same fish. Here's some of the info I've gotten to give you some more ideas and get a basic setup designed.

Thanks folks!!

Your use of a semicolon has offended me to no end and I may never recover!

Some people!!

j/k of course...:hmm3grin2orange:

If your planning on keeping live plants, steer away from apple snails. They can get rather large and will treat your plants as an all out buffet.

Looks spectacular! I'm hoping to grow my plants in on my 30 like that.

The tank is a standard 30 gallon so 36x12x16 is the dimensions. Its well planted with several decorations/caves for hiding.

It was probably a big stroke of luck that is been a quiet tank. They all started together in a 20 tall, but moved them to the 30 for more room. I believe they have all been together for about 7...

Alright so I believe I have everything sorted out now with a current stock of

1 male dwarf gourami
1 female gold gourami
1 female betta
1 african butterfly fish
2 african dwarf frogs
2...

Now THAT was a good laugh!

Well, sadly he passed as I slept (I don't usually get home until 5 or 6 in the AM). I had setup a 10 gallon as a hospital tank and was letting it run while I slept to get the water properly set. But...

Sorry to hear about your cory's Lady Hobbs, I think I'll try to get him in the hospital tank and try to med him. I'm just a tad concerned since it seems my last 2 cory's had the same issue. Hopefully...

Thanks Rich, not that Ive noticed, they all pretty much keep to themselves. The two males jockeyed for spaces in the tank when I first put them in, but it only went on for maybe 2 days with topaz...

You can also use a drop checker to check you levels. There are many you buy, and several diy units you can find online.

Thanks for the response, I do use flourish and excel at recommended doses, no CO2 system. The Ph doesn't change quickly. Its about 7 from the tap, I add a small bag of coral to the filter to bring it...

No one has anything? Now he still can swim to the surface to get air, but swims right back down to the bottom and lays there on his side and I cant get him to eat. Swim bladder issue?

Well, as many of you know I moved my gourami from the 20 tall to a 30 about a month ago. They had lived in the 20 for about 5 months before the move with no issues but wanted to give tham more room....

Welcome to the world of DIY...thumbs2: Things will never be the same now... hehehe

LEDs aren't extremely difficult to work with. I usually order mine online from places like frozencpu or ebay though there are many other places. The wizard link will help to make sure you keep your...
