im going to my fish store sometime this week to get rid of a few problem fish (fin nippers) and maybe a few im not really happy with
aaaaanyway i have a five cories in the tank that i see less than my
raphael cat yea its that bad:thud:
i think the problem is that two of them arent actually corie but something called a emerald green catfish (Brochis splendens) they look the same as my bronze corys but they are 3x as big (3")and dont school with them if someone can guive me a way to tell them apart frome an adult corie that wuld be great (sory no cam no pics)
any way i want an opinion on cleanup crews im thinking of getting rid of my "corys" and getting some yoyo loaches or some MORE kuhli loaches
OR getting rid of the emerald green catfish(?)and getting some more bronze corries and hopefully theyl come out more often
now i have verry heavy gravel that needs a good scavenger so by experience what seems to work best kuhli, botia or cory or maybe hoplo or something else?(no snails)
my tank setup now is a 46 gallon fully cycled dont know perams fish are happy
in it i have
5 black/white skirt tetras
3 bloodfin tetras (removing)
1 plat gourami (removing)
1 pim cat
1 raphael cat
1 african butterfly
1 bn pleco
2 kuhli loaches (had 3) may get rid of)
5 "cory" catfish
i will be getting two keyhole cichlids to replace the other fish
