Oh all is great the fishes get along good like bffs. The rams and cories are best freinds as they swim together in the 55. And the betta and ram play with each other in the 38. Also I have one male platy in the 55 trying to mate with one of the rams wierd.

Here are my 2 best tanks. A 38 and a 55. Both are community tanks with a good assortment of what is said you shouldn't put together lol. 38 with guppies, platies, cories, a Betta, and a Bolivian Ram. 55 with Platies, Rasbora hets, Neons, A Honey Gourami, Betta, cories, and 2 Bolivian rams.

I have a 29 gal grow out tank with Platy and Guppy juveniles in it and 4 adult feeder female guppies. This is what I came home to last night. About 15 or so new fry in the tank. Just what I needed lol. Now my child support is going up taking care of these babies. This tank is getting small quick.

Try some flake food. Mine won't eat pellets or anything other then various flakes.

I always use prime when cycling a tank with fish in. My routine is prime dose depending on the levels of ammonia and nitrite and also dose the hob with Stability. Works every time. If the ammonia hits 2ppm I do a 50% water change same for nitrites.

I also very rarely vacuum my tanks. I haven't seen a reason to do it more.

I also have my corys on gravel with no ill affects at all.

I will say this, I have 8 corys and 4 bolivian rams in a 55. One of my corys and 1 of the rams have become best buddies. They swin together and hang out together all the time. They group up with the others of their prospective species but next thing you notice is there them 2 go racing across...

No problem. They are fun. 2 or my community tanks have platys. They are almost as cool as my cory cats.

He is probably mixed with a red wag or sunburst. I have 4 green lanterns also and one developed an outline of yellowish orange. He is mixed with a sunburst.

If you can up the tank size a good bit it will open up your choices of tank mates. I currently have neons, corys, platies, guppies, and Bolivian rams with my male betta.

In my 2 main tanks I use both. Never can hurt.

I have panda corys with platies in my 38 with no problems and Emerald Corys with Platys and Neon tetras with a Honey gourami in my 55 with no problems. Not sure how bog sparkling Gouramis get but as long as they don't get to big you should be fine

Yes try some flake food. Mine eat flake a bloodworms.

Cories and tetras are fine together. And yes they have to be the same. Atleast 4 of the same type cories. They school together and are a ton of fun to watch. I have five Panda cories in my 38 and they are very cool to just watch. Now in regards to the pleco, make sure you do some research and...
