turn the lights off and/or put a cover on the tank to make it dark. Also move the decorations around. This can help with adding new fish in with territorial fish.

Well, much to my relief, I checked on everyone first thing this morning and all is well. Everyone made it through the night just fine. They are all so funny to watch. The cories are the cutest things, I just love them. Bert will even swim with them and will go down to where they are foraging and forage with them. It is just so funny to see these fish personalities. Now, he will still chase them if they come to close to him if he is up at the top alone, but he will join them if he feels like it. (kind of like a cat's personality) lol!!
I checked my parameters in the 10g also first thing this morning and they were: ammonia 0 and nitrites between 0-.25. So, for my 10g when will I probably need to do another PWC? Also, when I add shrimp, will they affect my parameters, or not so much? Geez, there is so much to learn!
So, I don't need to be testing nitrites and ammonia anymore, just nitrates? Or do all of them need to be tested??Glad to hear they are getting along now As far as pwcs for the 10gallon, I would check the nitrAtes every day. Do 25-50% pwcs to keep the nitrAte level below 10 ppm. You'll soon see a pattern develop as to how fast your nitrAtes build up and how often you'll have to do a pwc. I don't think adding shrimp will affect your parameters.
