Hi,
I'm currently just passing a bit of time before I finish acclimating the 3 boesemani fish i just got to add to the 3 sterbai corys that are already in there having just finished them
one of the corys got out too early when the floating bag tipped on its side - i've also had a fair bit of the bag water go into the tank, but I'm hoping since these are all fish from the same lfs 10 mins down teh road on their tapwater, and i did about an 80% water changed yesterday evening, that it won't be a problem or if it is it would have been unavoidable anyway. hopefully the little guy will be ok, he's met up with one of his buddies already and they are chilling out together
it is a 200l tank with a ex1200 external - im just wondering if i should pop back to the LFS this afternoon and either add more corys or get a few platys or swordtails - im concerned this number of small fish (bows are small atm) won't keep the filter active enough. i dont want to add more bows until I'm certain of the sexes, definitely 1 male and 1 female and the other should be a female if the LFS guy knows his stuff but I don't
im keeping the tank at around 26/27c is this correct for these fish?
