I think you are right, 5 emeralds seems like too much for my tank...but maybe the smaller pandas will work. My two emeralds are pretty small right now. Only about an inch and a half, but I haven't had them long. One day I will get a larger tank...I got this 20g thinking it was so big compared...

Aw I looked at your pictures, very cute :) I just love cory cats. I will probably end up getting a couple of pandas to put with the other two.

I have some hornwort. It is really fast growing. I just clipped mine the other day and my newly planted clippings are already growing. You can pm me and let me know where you are located if you want.

Ok thanks for all the great info! :) what are some of the smaller cory cats? Could you mix the emerald with a couple of panda cory or are they considered one of the larger ones as well?

I have a 20G high aquarium and currently have two Emerald Green Cory Cats, a couple of ghost shrimp and some mollies. The aquarium has a mix of live plants and a "cave" that the fish like to hide in sometimes. I've read that the Cory Cats do best in groups of 6 or more...I don't think a 20G...

I'm pretty sure that's an emerald green Cory catfish. I have two that look just like yours. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=830+1161+944&pcatid=944

I'm pretty new, so you should see what others have to say too, but I've had this happen to my fish and found out that it was ammonia poisoning. You should definitely get the test kit and do a water change. Maybe get Prime too, but you need to know your water parameters.

Ok I have an update on my molly UPDATE: I have been doing water changes and gravel vac since, and keeping ammonia at 0... unfortunately I've just noticed little white dots on about half of the fish *see pic* Could someone please tell me if this is Ich? I'm thinking it is since they are...

Ok thank you for the help. Do you think that is why she keeps rubbing herself up against the tank?

Ok I got my liquid test kit, and tested the ph, ammonia, and nitrate and nitrite. I also vacuumed the gravel and changed some of the water. I think the tests look good. I got 0 ammonia, ph was 7, nitrate and nitrite 0. So it can't be ammonia poisoning right?:confused:

I only have the test strips, which say everything is normal. I actually ordered the liquid test kit from amazon and it will be here this afternoon. So I will test with that when I get it and post my results.

One of my mollies has started rubbing herself up against things in the tank and I just noticed little black spots on her and she doesn't seem to look as nice as the other molly.... I've tried researching this and it sort of sounds like Ich? But I don't see the white spots, just black. I'm...
