If you still have them and are willing to ship, I am interested in the emperor tetras and maybe a couple of the endlers. I have red cherry shrimp I could trade. PM me if you're interested. Is there any way you could post pictures?

Do you still have the shrimp?

maxwellag- Yes, a pygmy cory is a variety of dwarf cory, along with habrosus and hastatus. AquaKai - Thank you for the link. ArizonaGardens might be a good place to go to get the fish if I can come up with the minimum order of $35. Right now, I've got all the supplies I need...

maxwellg - thanks for the suggestion, but they don't carry the pygmy either. I hadn't previously checked there before, though, either, so thank you. allexx - Wal-Mart is the only LFS anywhere within a 2 1/2 hour radius. I don't know if Wal-Mart accepts fish from the public, but I'd rather...

I've only got two types of fish in my "big" tank, so I know that the babies have to be either White Cloud Mountain Minnows (WCMM) or a danio (I have 1 zebra danio and two long-finned leopard danios). I've raised a danio fry before, and the danio seemed to grow really slowly. My guess (and it...

About a month ago, I ordered some plants, one of which was an anubias nana "petite". The "petite" looked decent on arrival but had brown around the edges of all the leaves. it shed all of it's leaves within a day or two of arriving, and then my apple snails started eating the rhizome. In an...

Yes, cutting off damaged leaves will encourage an anubias to grow new leaves.

I've read (I've never tried it myself) that Java moss only has to have a piece of it in the water to survive. I read an article recently that mentioned this: http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Plant,%20Java%20Moss.htm

The filters would definitely help the new tanks cycle. As far as I'm concerned, the more beneficial bacteria you can move to a new tank from an old tank before you put fish in the new tank, the better. Just make sure to "feed" the good bacteria if you put the filters and stuff in the new tanks...

That's the way I did mine too. Easy AND inexpensive! :)

As far as painting the back goes, why don't you just use a piece of paper in the appropriate color and attach it to the back of the tank using a piece of tape or similar adhesive? It sounds easier to implement and would be easier to change if you decide to use this tank for something else in...

How fast is your water leaking? If it's leaking real fast, I'd drain as much water from the large tank as you can into the smaller ones, move the decorations, filters, a handful or two of gravel for each of the 10's, and anything else you can move without making a huge mess into the smaller...

I agree - cory cats are great fish. I'm looking to get some pygmy corys for my 10 gallon.

Just about anything that's peaceful and not big enough to eat the corys is a good choice. However, I got some zebra and leopard danios and some white cloud mountain minnows. I would recommend both of them as good tank mates. The minnows are small, so you could have a bigger school of them...

Thanks for the suggestion, but they don't carry pygmy (or any other dwarf cory). :(
