I have a few questions about my cory cat. About the past few weeks its been looking as though he was dead, id go to get the net and he would start swimming around againg. So do they play dead? I have noticed that a few of his fins are a alittle nipped on, but would this cause such odd behaviour. Tonight i also noticed that he was laying on his side, and then he would swim a bit and flop himself on his side again.
I also have a spare 10g aquarium that i was thinking of making planted. I was going to use 2 9w maybe compact fluorescent bulbs that screw in because i have an incandescent light and i dont want to have to do C02 injection. Now i have the tank, hood without bulbs, an ac 150(this is missing the little plastic piece between the impeller and u-tube on the inside of filter), and also a hob heater. I also have a bag of arag-alive(i think) that was for a nanoreef tank i was going to start, but then was unable to. Would i be able to use that as a substrate. Now i have to discuss this with my mom, and i am unsure what she will say(other ideas of mine she has siad no like about getting an oscar) but i would also just like to know what would be good, so i could use it for future reference. So would that be ok setup, or what suggestions would you have.
For fish i was thinking:
1 betta(i seen some at walmart and i felt bad for them), 3 panda cories, and maybe 2-3 black tetras.
or3-4 dwarf puffers, and an octinulus.
Or
What ideas do you think would be cool in this tank. Im open to lots of ideas.
Thanks for the time, even if i cant get the planted tank, it will still be cool to learn about it. Thank You.
