New Question, possibly changing Stocking Plans - Cories?
Yesterday I visited that fish store I’d never heard of before, to get the Bio-Spira. I took a few minutes and looked at their tanks and their stock, and I have to say I was super impressed. There were no dead fish in sight, hardly any fish waste on the bottom of the tanks. I couldn’t find any specimen that didn’t look gloriously colorful and active. I even looked at the neons, and they looked very brightly colored, slightly plump. I asked him how his Neons did, and he said he hadn’t had issues with losing them, that he was very picky about the breeders he got them from. I am seriously reconsidering ordering my fish online, and buying from him instead. (Because I can save money on the shipping, the water conditions/pH maybe be more similar and result in easier acclimation, and mainly because he has a great fish store with great customer service and I feel I should support them.)
The only problem is that they don’t have snails (he says they’re not allowed to bring them into my state anymore.) He’s not sure if he has any, and it doesn’t appear that he has any Otos. He doesn't have shrimp at the moment, but might get some. So I guess I’m curious about how Cories work. How many minimum, how much do they add with the fishload? Or do these even eat algae?
What other algae eating options are out there...
