u must be lying tigers only do that if they are being bothered

Kevin

no. tigers are very aggressive with fish who have big colorful fins

Shrimpy

thaat never happened with me and my colorful fish

Kevin

Kevin

COBettaCouple

cool, can't wait to see them.

Kevin

now i'm ****ed...my blue g. has been harassing the new corys all night...i'm gonna turn her in as soon as i get back from va. what can i do to stop this aggression, i never knew that anything would attack a cory like that...she swims throught the plants looking for them...its a game to her

i'm probably gonna wake up to 3 near death corys 'cause of stress

COBettaCouple

she needs a time out.. seperate her into a container and rearrange the tank some maybe before letting her back in. if that doesn't work, then you might have to divide the tank or find small hiding places for them she can't get into, put her in another tank or turn her in. maybe post a question in the gourami forum to find out what's motivating her behavior.

Does she seem to be trying to bite them or is it more of a curiosity thing.. sometimes fish will be curious, but even our bettas didn't really pay a lot of attention to the corys when we added some.

Kevin

it looked like she was nipping at them, but they were swimming too fast for me to see well, i tried to catch her and put her in my 5 gal, but she hides in the mid of the live plants and i cant get here, i'm leaving early tom morning, so i cant get a net breeder

i'm all out of ideas

COBettaCouple

unfortunately, the only way to get her might be to take the plants & all out. it could be something that will change over time as she accepts them.. hard to say since these little fish like to have personality and don't all follow the same rules.

Kevin

i'm gonna turn her in as soon as i get back...shes gonna get too big anyways :P

Kevin

here are the corys!

first is the 2 black banded corys...they're kinda shy
second is my leopard cory...he's really good looking

hopefully my lfs will be getting more leopard corys soon

29 gal. update
had my water tested today...looks like it is going thorough that spike right b4 it is cycled...my ph went down, nitrates are around 10, nitrite was up...i did a 20% water change and treated the water w/ prime...so it should be better now

COBettaCouple

Try Daphnia if you have it or soaking his food in garlic juice or a few frozen bloodworms thawed or some tiny pieces of thawed, peeled frozen peas.. or http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produc...35&N=2004+6110
