Thanks for your help

Found this little critter living in my java fern on driftwood. Anyone know what it might be? Looks like a flea but is too big. Could it be daphnia? I only feed freeze dried. Or is it a parasite? Transparent body, looks green in the pic though. And a long thin body with lots of little legs...

Mebbid your fish is beautiful! I hadn't thought of female bettas. They'd look lovely. I've had male bettas (alone) before but never kept females.

Ah so my mistake was correct after all - 6 cories it is! Although can I have 5? I prefer odd numbers for some reason. Same goes for danios if poss. I only got 4 because that's all the shop had but u can go to a different LFS and get one more. That gourami sounds lovely I'll have to check it...

4 Corys I meant

Great. Thanks so much for your replies. So I'm thinking 6 guppies (I have 2 male, 4 female) 4 pearl danios 6 Corys (leopard maybe) 3 platys (1 male 2 female) 1 honey gourami 4 shrimp According to Aquadvisor that's 66% capacity so maybe some neon tetras too. How does that sound?

Ah ok. I love Corys so that's a positive. Might look into other schooling fish / live bearers like Platys too. I have tried some ideas out on Aquadvisor and it seems to think neons and guppies would be ok with gouramis but I'm not convinced. How reliable is that tool?? Thanks for replying B. I...

I've got a 34 gal long tank with 6 guppies and 4 danios. Just wondering if there are any big fish that would like happily with them? Gourami? Anything else? I'm also getting Corys. Thanks.

Ok thanks. I have some plants but not loads, mostly attached to driftwood. Perhaps I'll get some more plants too. Could I have 2 gourami as well or would that be overstocking??

Also is there any particular order I should add the fish in to ensure a peaceful community? Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Good to know I'll get the stocking right. Do you mean that the Corys will eat small/baby shrimp??

Hello I was hoping to get some help with my 32 gal (long, cycled, some real plants and bog/driftwood) as I'm fairly new to tropical fish (only had fancy goldfish before) so I'm unsure of stocking rules, compatibility etc. I've done a lot of Googling but the internet is full of conflicting...
