    I would recommend apple snails, nerite snails, any corydoras, or kuhli loaches. What sized tank do you have?

    Finally got in my Easy Green today! Can't wait to see the results!

    I've had these plants for over a year, and they've grown just fine under the same conditions until now. However, I did sell off the massive guppy/endler population that had been living in the tank about a month ago. Maybe the loss of nitrates led to this? I will try dosing Easy Green to see if it might solve whatever issue it is. Thanks for the advice!

    @Zenzo @Beardedbillygoat1975 Thank you for the advice I'll try dosing easy green.

    I do not dose with liquid fertilizer. Nitrate levels are around 50.

    It's leaves have slowly been browning and then dying starting a few weeks ago. Its grown really well up until then. No changes to the tank have been made, so I'm wondering how I can help it. Thanks!

    Pearl gourami are really pretty. Get a pair of these!

    Ah yes some of my favorites! I would go basically with what @Isaac M (by the way, great suggestions) was saying. Kind of an Amazonian style tank with driftwood and plants. Dwarf aquarium lilies are great because they block out a lot of light. Here's a picture of mine back when I had it. Definitely go with a sand. Pool filter sand is what I use, but a darker sand would certainly bring out their colors too. Also a lot of Java fern on the driftwood. My cories have started spawning on them, so maybe Brochis will too. For the size of the tank, I'd say anything upwards from a 40 gallon breeder (at least a 3 foot long tank since they are so big). Hopes this helps, and good luck! I'm looking forward to see where this project goes!

    Female peppered cories will grow to 2.5 inches (maybe a little longer) and males just over 2 inches long at full size I think. Mine spawned in late October last year and the babies are still not yet full size (they are almost there!), but by the looks of it they are mature and ready to breed. This is what they should look like when full size, so it does take them a while to grow! (female left, male right) Just over a month old: Over two months: In comparison to its mother in the behind the plant: Just under a year old (female): So I'd say over a year to reach full size, and probably around 8 months as @Fish Folk said to be ready to breed. I hope this helps!

    Yeah I found feeding them when the lights are off works. The other fish can't find the food. As @gardenman said, feed the flakes and other floating foods while you feed wafers. Also try to put several wafers in different places of the tank so that even if all the other fish are eating one, the cories can eat the other ones.

    Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you have some great tanks!
  12. CorydorasEthan
    I sometimes just use a small rock to weigh the plantlets down on the wood where I want them to grow.
  13. CorydorasEthan
    Though I've never tested it out myself, I have read that Java fern are hardy and can tolerate brackish water tanks.

    Welcome to the forum! Great looking tanks you have there! I happen to be a fan of Corydoras too. The loach looks to me like a yo yo loach (Botia almorhae) or an angelicus loach (Botia kubotai) to me, though there are several other Botia loaches that have a similar pattern, so I can't be too sure on which one it is. Hope this helps!

    I don't dose any liquid fertilizers, but I do add root tabs under the water sprite plants. To grow the java fern all over the wood I take the little plantlets that it grows on the tip of its leaves and anchor them to the wood, where their roots then take hold. Thanks!

    Just sold off all the guppies in the 29 gallon a few days ago. The guppies were getting weaker in my tank each generation because of the interbreeding and the overpopulation, so I decided to sell them all to a local store where they can find better homes.. The tank is looking a lot less crowded and the Corydoras, Otocinclus, and gourami are looking a lot happier. The guppies had previously been eating the cory eggs whenever they would spawn, so I'm hoping for some cory babies soon! I also added a few plantlets grown from the larger ones into the gravel and onto the wood. Trying to get this tank heavily planted!

    I agree with @gardenman he looks like an albino bristlenose pleco. They should get to around the 6 inch mark at most. You can keep several bristlenose together. According to what I've heard, they each will require their own little caves or wood that they can claim as their territory, but they should be fine.
  18. CorydorasEthan
    @Colu Several of the guppies have these sort of white spots. They are eating fine and not losing weight but have the spots. Is this ich, or is this some kind of fungal disease? What do I do to cure it?
  19. CorydorasEthan
    Yeah I agree looks like a standard longfin bristlenose! Albinos will be a pale color (like a yellow or pink), super reds will be a darker red-orange color, and the standard ones will have the brown mottled and striped coloration that this one has. I hope this helps!

    I use a window screen cut to fit the area that the lid doesn't cover. It keeps fish from jumping out just fine. I was also able to cut away a space for a hang on back filter too.
  21. CorydorasEthan
    Peppered Cories! Need I say more?
  22. CorydorasEthan
    From what it looks like, I think it is a female. I heard that males have pointier dorsal fins. @Fish Folk Can you confirm?
  23. CorydorasEthan
    That Corydoras + plants aquarium looks phenomenal! I wish I could pull something off like this!
  24. CorydorasEthan
    UPDATE: The siamese algae eater was getting way too aggressive, so I gave him away to a local pet store. The tank is a lot more peaceful now! All the fish are healthy.
  25. CorydorasEthan
    At full size the males will get around 2 inches and the females around 2.5 inches. Male and female: Female: Male compared to female bronze cory:
