Hi not been on for a while. All's going well with new tank, thanks to all ur help.
Just a question out of interest. I've got 6 cardinals and they've started to swim about a lot individually/pairs instead of grouping together, is this just cos they're chilled out in their environment or cos I need more?
Tank is 63l
other fish: 3 cherries, 2 dwarf honey gourmis, 2 cories
hi
i would have thought that they were comfortable,
they only shole(?) together when they feel threatened.
wait for someone elses opinion though i could be wrong.
thanks willow, I was thinking that it could be cos they were unthreatened or a little lost cos there weren't enough of them. i did also wonder if it was cos maybe they were getting ready to reproduce. I think I should find out more about them, i have done about the other fish - only up til recently the cardinals didn't really do much except swim around in a group and look pretty of cos
I was thinking about getting another female corrie so i'll have a male and 2 females and was just wondering if maybe a few more cardinals might be better since the corries seem happy enough, it's quite hard not having such a big tank don't want to overstock it. I can see how easy it is to end up having several tanks - that get bigger and bigger :O)
hi
corys always do better in a bigger group,they're fun to watch,and if you get them to spawn,Wow!! it's so cool to see.
if you have space for more cardinals then yeah good idea,they also look nice in a big group,once my tank is up and running again,and settled
i would like to increase the neons,there are 10 at the moment.
yes i know what you mean about bigger tanks,that's how we
all end up with MTS(multy tank syndrome ) if you can afford
and have the room for a bigger tank,i say go for it,it is in some
ways easier than a small tank.
got room for a 4 footer ? think of the cardinals in there
(not wanting to tempt you ofcorse. )
sadly no room ( but when we move I will def. get probs another 2 tanks.
I agree the corries are great to watch my two are very playful with eachother dancing around together wiggling their tails and darting up and down the tank - mainly in the evening. When I got them I thought they just mouched around on the bottom looking for food all the time -couldn't have been more wrong!
i have to say that they are the most entertaining
little guys arnt they
well i hope you're able to get the tanks you want when you move.
