Is your tank heavily planted? They love heavily planted. Here is my tank as an example: 15g with 3 adults and 2 fry.

I had that same thing when my tank was new, but never found out what it was. It's either disappeared on its own or my pufferfish have eaten it.

Totally forgot to update this thread. I went the turkey baster route in the end and collected about 7, then 8 and then 9, annnddd then realised they were swimming back in again . I think the actual total was 7. Due to some other issues, I had to put them in the tank with the adults rather than...

I noticed 2 of my Bronze Corys following each other about and nuzzling each other today after a WC, does this mean what I think it might mean?

Thanks everyone, apparently my local LFS doesn't get them in that often and I have to admit I've not seen them before in any of the other of the stores I visit either.

Awesome, they look cool. Yes, Nancy the Gold Ram is a rampant photo-bomber

So the other owner of the 180L community tank is a terrible impulse buyer of fish and picked up some new fish today. He also has an annoying habit of not remembering what the fish are called. From what I've worked out I think they might be Hyphessobrycon bentosI (Bentos Tetra), but I'd like...

Everyone's tanks are different, everyone's water supplies are different, tanks can take from 4 - 8 weeks to fully cycle fishless and in some cases even longer. As you're now doing a fish-in cycle, which takes longer than a fish-less btw, you'll just have to be patient. Now that you have fish...

Could be a Crypt, Sword or Echinodorus of some sort.

From what I've read it's best to just use an airline without the stone attached, it's the little bubbles from the air stones that can cause problems.

"How long will it take cycle to complete?" How long is a piece of string? Just keep doing the testing and the water changes and the cycle will complete eventually.

I've yet to find a fish that doesn't like bug bites ... well, my puffers would probably turn it down.

My glass cats like Bug Bites, frozen daphnia and they'll eat flakes if the flakes have been crumbled into smaller bits.

Update January 2020

Well, they seem to be all making their way into the main tank bit by bit now, either that or there's more in there than I thought Not sure if that makes life easier or not, ha ha ha.

Myers when he was fresh in the tank.

I'm sorry I have no advice re: the rims, but I'm sure someone else will be able to help. Welcome back to the hobby

I can't advise on carpet plants, but maybe one or two of the smaller Anubias, like nana petit on the driftwood. Although the tank looks great as is.

Ooops, ha ha, I'm sure if it's any good Cory will let us know, but he's more than likely going to test it for a good long while first.

Welcome to Fishlore. I look forward to hearing more about your tank and hopefully seeing some pictures when it's up and running
