| Was the little bottom feeder a cory? They are really cute, I have just learned they like to be in groups though so you should get at least 3 so they dont get lonely...my poor lil guy will have to wait 2 weeks now, but he seems happy for the moment.
So you could get a few of them, and some male fancy guppies would be nice and add more colour to your tank. Look around at a few stores to see what types of guppys they have, some are really cool looking. | |

| Before adding any new types of fish, you should think about filling out the current inhabitants' schools. A couple of swordtails and another molly would make the current inhabitants happier (if you don't want them breeding, though, make sure that you get all the same gender).
Also, keep an eye on the mollies fish. Mollies have a tendency to not get along with other tankmates. | |

| 2 swords and a molly would probably leave room for a few small bottom feeders, like dwarf corydoras.
(Also, a request from an old guy who is neurotic about the English language, please try to tone down the variant spellings.  ) | |

| Better. No need to be sorry, really. We've just got a wide range of folks around here, not just from the US, but from around the world. I've seen people for whom English wasn't the first language, too. It's just easier if we all use as close to a common language as we can get.
Better spelling/grammar makes it easier for those of us who don't spend time texting/chatting/whatever to read, which means we're more likely to respond.  | |

| Was it called a Chinese algae eater?
if so, they're a fish you generally want to avoid. They're sweet as juveniles, but may turn violent as they become adults.
Or some sort of loach?
Not sure about any others, but with a picture, we'll be able to find a name.  | |

| i personally think variety is nice. I've got two swords (1male, 1 female) the male has never overly bothered the female at all. what about a gourami or few black skirt tetras and a couple of cory's | |

| i don't know, i guess it all comes down to i want a fish that will eat left overs and stuff on the bottom.. i dont really need an algea eater. just a bottom feeder to eat scraps, and ofcourse the pelts u give em . any thoughts? | |

| I have two otos in my tank and when there is no algy they eat the scraps of the bottom. Corys are really good cleaners but I like ghost shrimp the best, they are very fun to watch. you dont have any fish that are big enough to eat them and it they do the shrimp are 12 for a doller. | |
