Well, I've went and came home with fish! I stuck with your plan kizno but there was SO many temptations Sad

I almost came home with some Honey Gourmai's as well, but I'm sure if they'd be okay with the stock I want. So today I purchased:

5 X Black Neon Tetras
3 X Red platties (1m:2f)

Their bolivian rams are gorgeous so planning in two weeks time to get a pair Smile

And maybe something else, like some bottom feeders? Cories perhaps.

by **kizno1** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 6:15 pm

Sounds good. Do you know how to sex rams? I think you could get away with 5 corys. I would go for a smaller type like panda corys if you can get them.

by **Jake15** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 6:43 pm

Yeah I saw some panda cories they're today Smile

Nope have no clue how to sex them either! lol

by **kizno1** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 6:58 pm

Pandas only get to about 1 inch where as peppers, albinos and bronzes will get to 2 1/2" so i think pandas would be better. The males are alot brighter than the females and the females will have some pink on there bellies.

Male ram

Female ram

Ahhh cool dude! I would of got pandas anyway, soo cute.

by **kizno1** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 9:56 pm

Ive got 8 there really active aswell. Or instead of the corys you could go for a clown, bristlenose or bulldog plec.

by **Jake15** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 10:07 pm

Never had cories before, so defiantly going for them Smile

by **kizno1** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 10:11 pm

Fair enough thumbup

. If you want a really active cory then 8 pygmy corys would work well. Unlike other corys they spend alot of time swimming in the middle layer of the tank.

by **Jake15** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 10:13 pm

Oh, they sound awesome! I sense a googling marathon coming up! LOL

by **kizno1** on Mon Aug 16, 2010 10:20 pm
