  1. Appreciate the advice. I saw somewhere that someone used a breeder box to keep the shrimp in to allow the fish to get used to them. Might give it a try. If it doesn’t work I guess the Angel gets a special treat for a snack.
  2. I’m wanting to add some shrimp to the 37g but am hesitant because of my Angelfish. Just have one that’s about 2.5” now with some coreys, platies, tetras, sae, and hill stream loach. He leaves all the other fish completely alone. Any thoughts on shrimp? Any tips?
  3. Glad to see they are working out. I have has 2 cobalt blues in my 40 gal. Every once in a while the larger one lets the little guy know he's the boss but its harmless interaction. Sometimes they dance with each other to show dominance but nobody ever gets hurt. Been a year now with no issuers.
  4. I bought the nano pump as well with my medium sponge filter. Then I saw an older video when Cory introduced the nano pump and he has said it was not meant to run sponge filters. Can anyone add clarity to this? @Cory
  5. Ya I ordered the medium from co op. Need to order the large prefilter instead. I’ll let my 5 year old know you like the gravel. I let him pick it out lol. The bottom right plant is not real. Just fake plastic that came with the fake wood. Been looking for a cool wood piece just need to find the right one. I’m too picky. Thanks for the reply 👍🏼
  6. I’ve been running around 20 ppm nitrates with weekly 25% water changes.
  7. Hi everyone! I’m so glad I found Cory an Aquarium Co Op. The videos and forums have been super helpful in getting back on track. Just wanted to introduce myself and the kids. I have a tall 37 gal planted tropical community aquarium. Running a medium sponge filter and hot rodded a top fin hob 40 with a coarse sponge prefilter and two coarse sponge cutouts for inside. The tank has 1 juvenile angelfish, 3 dwarf cobalt blue gourami, 5 red coral platty, 5 albino corys, 1 hillstream loach, 1 giant mystery snail and 1 nerite snail. Been running like this for 4 months or so. Do I have enough filtration for the bio load? I’m pretty sure I’m pushing the limits on tank size as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
