Yep! I am usually the one who picks out the fish I want because of m/f ratios. This guy seemed to be knowledgable on dc so I let them pick the fish one time and this happens  oh well. I don't mind getting more because these ones were fairly cheap

Pretty good thanks. My only problem is my plants, so frustrating. I can see why you gave that up lol. But I'm trying to not quit, I just haven't found the right balance yet.

That's good to hear. A few of mine have taken a hit since my ich, other than that things are going good. I had the same problem it's was plants would do good, then algae everywhere. Algae gone plants doing bad. Then plants just bad so I pulled them lol

Dang sorry about the Ich, what's your course if action to treat? I know people aren't a fan of meds on here but RId Ich + worked great for me, and this was when I had my first rams in the tank.

Actually the apisto totally minds his own business its the gourami that comes and circles him all flared and waving his feelers at him and that's when bam the apisto goes at him all open mouthed once or twice and the gourami goes oh sh!% I better leave thems one alone for now lol.

Well I took over 2 females from a friend put them in yesterday evening. Also went to the lfs and bought 10 blue tail peru tetras. Aggresion has gone down drastically. Ill post pics later. These dwarfs are quite amazing most definitely my favorite fish even top my last brackish tank of puffers and columbians. Wish I would have gotten into them sooner.
Cheers
