    One of my sterbai died :( :( :( saw him sucked to the side of my filter this morning, oushed him off he swam away then came back I did an emergency WC tested the ammonia and it was 0 the other fish have been fien. I put him in a jug I use for WC and he just kept floating on his back. I examined him no marks or spots. I will keep a close eye on the other fish

    I am planning on buying a standard 2 foot tank with a small internal filter, I have spare heaters and I will just fit a small t8 tube and use it for quarantine. No subtrate or anything

    Really sorry for your loss! Loosing a cory is terrible! :cry:

    Ps: You can also look into getting some otocinclus for those algae. They'd be a nice addition to your tank.

    So I went past a small LPS today and they had neons on special 10 for R90 naturally I had to buy some, and they had corys which are becoming my weakness so I picked up the 2 albinos they had and a bronze.

    Current stock: 3 panda corys, 3 sterbai corys, 2 albino corys, 1 bronze cory,16 neon tetras, +\- 20 platy fry that are getting close to neon size. One female platy bursting with fry (think I spotted a baby now so she may be birthing) Plan is to give away the female and the fry once they are big enough. I want 2 or 3 ottos maybe another 6 neons and then my pair of bolivian rams. Will post some pics later
