Is it important to have the Cory in even numbers? I have a 10g tank with Cories only. The tank is stocked with 2 Pygmy, 2 Bronze, 2 Pepper and 1 Panda. Everytime I get new Panda, the old one dies. So I decided to give up on keeping Panda Cory. In your experience, does one cory get lonely...

My 10g tank has Panda, Pygmy and Pepper Cories (total of 5). I am considering adding either 2 Hatchet or 1 Bristlenose. In your experience, does Bristlenose become aggressive with other smaller cories? I have Pleco looks just like Bristlenose without the tentacles. But the store clerk said...

Has anyone here used gravel coated with epoxy? My Panda's barbel gets shorter each day. I went to the store looking for marbel because I figure those are as smooth as you can get. But to get enough for 10g tank, it would cost a lot of money. However, the store sell gravel made by Marina...

I want to give my Panda Cory food other than sinking tablet. What vegetable or plant that is sinkable do you recommend to feed them? Does anyone know a way to make freeze dried blood worm sink? Thanks

This fish has that thing on it's mouth for few months now. So far I tried Melafix twice. That thing on the month does not look like a cotton. It looks more like extra skin or maybe a tumour. It does not affect other fish. This fish still act like other healthy fish. Does anyone know what...

The Panda Cories were fine yesterday. But when I came home today, one of the Panda Cory died suddenly. It looks like there is a lot of bleeding inside one side of the belly. There is no visible external injury. I did not notice the faint white line until the picture is taken. Do you think...

I have 3 harlequin rasbora and 2 black skirt tetra in 10 g tank. One harlequin got half of the tail bitten off. The fish seem to be putting more effort to keep body straight. I want to find way to reduce its stress while healing. But that is the only tank I have. I was thinking buying a...

I have two Harlequin Rasbora. Because I think one is getting picked on by the other, I went to store to get two more thinking they need to be in school. In two pet shops, they had 10-20 per tank. I noticed they do not swim together. All articles I read say they are schooling fish. Are the...

Currently, I have two black skirt tetra and two harlequin rasbora. I would like to add two more harlequin rasbora to get them to swim together and two panda cory for bottom part of the tank. The eight fish will be over the 1 inch per gallon rule. Do you think the tank will be too crowded? Thanks

I have two black skirt tetra in a new 10 gallons tank for a week now. Both fish are 1 inch or less. The two only ocassionally following each other swimming for the first few days. I find this weird since they are suppose to be school fish. Now especially at feeding time, the bigger tetra...

I am trying to find fish which will be happy as single or couple. This will be my first fish. Any suggestion besides siamese fighting fish? My tank size is 10 gallons. My concern for school fish is that some easily breed. I don't have the time or money for take care of offspring for hardy...
