Just found this cool guy in the LFS, a real gem. She says he's a Super Delta. I have only seen him flare out once and it's spectacular, his fins are so long. Of course I didn't have my phone to snap a picture though. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I ended up getting 5 Long-fin Zebra danios. So active and easier on the water quality. Next up an army of shrimp.

Thank you, I was thinking of 10-15 shrimp. I believe loaches like to burrow into sand so my substrate may be a bit rough for them, correct me if I'm wrong. They are cool though and then I could have GBR. I have had Drawf Gouramis before and find them aggressive even more than Betas I have had...

Hello, I'm building my little 20g community and have a good idea of what I'm after, just checking with the experts in here. Its a planted tank with eco complete substrate. I have a Bristlenose pleco and 10 neons in there at the moment. I am just a little unsure of a bottom feeder. I really...

Thank you, I don't know all my parameters all I have is a pH tester. I think the lighting schedule is fine, it's on timer 8am-12:30, 5-9:30. Let's say it's a phosphate issue, what can I do? I already have stopped adding Flourish for a few weeks now and the spread has slowed but I want a...

I have finally set up a nicely planted 20gal but now I'm having an algae problem spreading on my driftwood and onto my plants. Pleco can't seem to keep up with it either. Not sure what to do so I am open to some advice before I throw it in a put and boil it. Some well established Java fern is on...

Some new additions. A female betta and a BN pleco. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have been doing a little reading about this but thought I would ask for peoples experiences with having a male beta with one or more females. I have a 20gal community with a young male beta, 3 Cory's, a BN Pleco, 2 Mystery snails and a Bamboo shrimp. I recently added a female and at first...

Interesting, it seems I have the Trilineatus variation of Cory. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I keep a young Crown Tail Betta in a 20g community. Also in this tank are 3 Juli Cories, 1 Bamboo shrimp, 2 Mystery snails, and 1 Bristles nose pleco. They are all fairly young and seem to get along. Though I have noticed the Betta is beginning to chase the Cories once in awhile, usually when...

Perfect I have Bamboo shrimp in there.

Thanks Fishfur, very informative. It is the smaller one that has its shell parallel to the surface it's on except the are multiplying and I even saw what looks like egg sacs on some leaves. I feel bad about it but I'm just gonna squish a bunch and take out the eggs, hopefully that works. Sent...

Maybe harmless but those little guys are reproducing like mad and I don't want it to get out of control.

I changed my substrate a few weeks back and now I'm noticing a bunch of little snails all over my tank. I got the substrate used (eco complete) and I'm sure its where they came from as there are of bunch of tiny shells in the rocks. I tried catching them to remove but they're too tiny so I'm...

What live food do you use? I might know a lfs that might have it I know Petsmart won't. I only use holy water ;)

I was just thinking that. I like the hump back yours has it makes him look big and mean. I hope mine grows that when he's matured.

Mine are just Juli according to Pet smart. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Like here lol. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks, Sterbai are great and I know a place that has them but they are double the price of the Julii so I went with these. I'm a big fan of Corie's though. I can't ever get a good PIC of the Betta. Whenever I come up to the glass to take he he swims right up to me so all I get are...

Here is my newly renovated 20gal setup. So far the stock is 4 Julii Cory's, a Bamboo Shrimp and a really cool young Crown tail Betta. Probably add a couple Mystery Snails in next couple weeks and that's it. Will post more pics when I get good ones with the betta posing. Sent from my Nexus 5...

Funny my 20gal almost matches your suggestion and it is a good set up, mine just needs some tweaking but its close. In my tank: 1 Dwarf Gourami, 10 neon tetras, 3 Otocinclus, 1 Bamboo shrimp and 2 Juli Corys. I'm currently trying to get rid of the corys so I can get more shrimp.

I have 2 Juli Corys and 1 Bamboo shrimp as bottom feeders in my 20gal and they're very nice. I have the opposite problem and am getting high on stock so I may get rid of corys and get more shrimp. Corys do best in small groups of 5 or more though mine seem happy.

Hey guys thanks for responding. A day after I posted this I asked an older gentleman at the LFS about this and he suggested it was most likely pH got too low. I have a test kit but didn't bother testing when I got home. The water had this murky look to it even after a big change so I did another...
