I am actually thinking of taking out the discus? Do you guys think that is okay? I will still keep them, but in a bare bottom tank with no tank mates so they are less stressed? not sure on that.

I am also thinking that once the rams breed and the plecos, I will move those out, so any suggestions on other cool fish. Preferably mid-top as I have lots of bottom dwellers

so excited for my ABNs, my female and male are like choosing DW caves.................

i have a few caves in my DW out of sight

2 giant ones(8"X3"X4")
3 medium ones
2 tiny ones

so the female goes in one of them, the male follows, then the male leaves, and she follows really funny to watch, i got to get a vid. up.


finally they have chosen this cave that is right on the front of the DW, if u look in the pics, it is like a partial tube sticking straight up on the front of the DW, but u can't see in, unless ur above the tank


and a question


I have 4 albino long fin corys, but 2 of them seem to be a pair? well, they are hanging out together, one is a bit bigger(female, prob.), but I haven't seen the T formation yet. The other 2 are just normal, scavenging.

and I forgot to add this to my current stocklist

1 male blue veiltail betta

My agazzi (still cannot spell the name >.<) cories used to do that. They are all males and when there was four they kind of wandered off in pairs, more so during feeding time. They weren't very active though in my 26g but in the 10g they sift through the sand happily Maybe just a coincidence though, so can't give really any info.

You asked about mid-top fish? Well, mollies are mid/top fish. If you have enough hungry fish in the tank the fry thing won't be much of an issue, but if you can get all males. Males ahve the washamicallit fish, and sometimes have a larger dorsal fin (sailfin mollies). They can't get preggo and have babies in your tank afterwards

You could also try Hatchets, they look very cool.

cool, but I am pretty sure I have at least 1 female. Mine don't do this during feeding time, they are doing it full time, cool, but creep

if i can find hatchets, but I heard they eat smaller fish

i have kept mollies, and cooler looking more colorful fish I was thinking of 6-8 dario darios, I don't care if they aren't mid-top, but they look cool

 

[TheFishBoss97]

anything on the scarlet badis(dario dario)?

or any other choices?
