I am so happy! I got my new nano fish today!
I now have clown killis and habrosus cories. I took some awful pictures to share! Hopefully I will get some better ones later. :)
EDIT: Lol, ignore the last one. I clicked the wrong icon while uploading.

Thanks. :) I am pretty excited. They are all still acclimating so I don't want to take more pictures right now, but its really hard to exertt my self control! They are soooooooo tiny! The clown killis aren't even half an inch.
 
I got 7 of each. That gives me a little room in case 1 or 2 don't make it. Yes, its for the 10g. They are so small they actually make my ember tetras look big! Lol.

Lol!! That is awesome, this will be such a cool nano.

Are you planting? You should some big anubias, and the little corys will rest on its leaves lol
 
I actually just got some Anubias nana yesterday. I also have a little java fern in there and a baby Argentine sword and some other random plant I don't know the name of. I would like to add more plants, but that was the best I could find at the time. I am on the look-out for a couple other things too. :)
I have a clay pot in there, and I added some smaller ones for cory caves, but the corys look so tiny next the the pots I got that I think they will probably prefer to hide under the plants right now.

Sounds very good! Some river rocks would look great, as well as maybe some moss and a floating plant like water lettuce? I think it would be so cool making your nano tank look like a river! JMO:)
 
Yeah, I would like a floating plant. I tried duckweed, but it just all got clogged in my filter. I am on the look-out for a cheap floating plant. :)
I should take some pictures of the tank when it doesn't have bags floating in it. Lol.

I have tons of hornwort, and it looks pretty goof and grows quickly. I can see how duckweed would do that!!

Lol yup! Ill be expecting the FTS around 4:30!!
 
Oh no, I missed my deadline Gboy! But, the tank looks better with the lights on, so I can get a shot tomorrow when I turn my lights one again for the little guys. :)

I also got 2 dwarf flag cichlids (L. curviceps), but they are not for this tank and the pictures I have managed to get of them so far are even less discernible than the last picture I posted. Lol.
Hopefully they cooperate more tomorrow though. :)

Lol!! You kept me waiting!

Very cool, flags are awesome. What tank are they for?
 
Its a 40g tall and I have 3 angels plus a bunch of other stuff. 3 angels normally don't get along, but mine do. :)

Very cool! Thanks for the info
 
I have to say that the habrosus corys are active little buggers! They flit around a lot more than my bigger cories do. They seem to have a game of tag going at the moment. I was afraid they would be a bit shy, but NOPE!
 
Here are some more shots. Those are my embers, a full tank shot (I still need more plants!), and a photo-bombing oto who swam in front of the cories.
