That's to be expected either way. :P

Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification. So, if I were to keep the previously mention stocking. Add an extra Emerald Cory for good measure, an extra 2 Diamond Tetras and a school of 8 or so other schooling fish, I'd be fine? What about with four or five loaches for good measure?

I called mine Sparkles. Because he does what his name says. :D

I know platies aren't tetras. :angel: And I know about live bearers - guppies, swords, etc. Just wasn't aware that platies didn't school. I'll keep my eye out for another species of tetra, or something similar that I like. Just after a small splash of colour and some schooling fish to...

Sorry, I meant to say they are different, they just look a little similar (body shape, etc). :)

That's strange, I'm sure I'd been told plenty of times they were. Oh well. Guess I could just look into a different colour Tetra. :thumb: I am aware Emeralds grow a bit larger, I think they max at about 3.5", or so I've heard. If they are still too big, I am happy to switch them or any other...

They are quite similar. I'll keep that in mind thanks. Pity considering how beautiful they can be. I was thinking about Kuhli. 6 of those plus the 6/8 Emeralds wouldn't be overstocked would it? The tank will be planted and I'll be sure to build caves/use pipe so that they all have somewhere to...

Some info on Festivums: Flag Cichlid, Mesonauta festivus, Festivum Cichlid Fish Guide They appear to be rather peaceful and hardy. They have been kept successfully with schooling fish, rams, angelfish, etc. I remember seeing that 6 is fine for a school of Corydoras. Could I add one or two more...

Set as in fully stocked/pushing it? Or a little room left? I don't plan to add anymore, as I hate a fish tank that looks crowded, it's just nice to know I'm a little under stocked. I've briefly checked up on all the fish and it seems that my rams + Festivum are relatively shy, so I'll have to...

Many months ago I posted a thread asking a similar question, however, my interesting in fish-keeping had come at a poor time (I could do little more than a betta in a 10 gallon) due to financial issues (I am a student) and a lack of space. Both of those problems are not as major as they used to...

Thank you for your time, but I don't think you have read the whole post. I plan to remove an angel if pairing begins.

I knew about guppies. :) I was also a contemplating a Snakeskin guppy. Hmmm. I think I'd just plant the tank nicely and leave it to the survival of the fittest! Sorry if that sounds cruel to some!

Thanks!

Thank you. I think I may have found my favourite! :brows:

I am going to hunt one down. I will not stop until I have one. There are some beautiful pictures of them here (I do not plan to buy from this site): Angelfish USA - Phil Blue & Pinoys
