Those cory babies are the CUTEST!!

Mwah thank you!! I don't want them to grow up, they're so feisty with their baby barbels! 
 

those Cories look very good in your tank, glad I suggested it

 
And yeah was a brilliant idea, they've settled in great - I reckon I'll be moving a few more over from the fry tank next week!

Oooo that sound great!  I'd love a tree with moss on it!  And congrats on the upcoming graduation!!

 
Thank you very much! I don't find out my final grade till tomorrow so I'm anxiously waiting!! 
Why don't you get/grow a moss tree? Would look really nice with endlers swimming around it 

 

 

 
I've never done it ...would I just get a moss ball and tie it to my driftwood?

Hello again, I do have a little video of it (I'd done a water change prior so it's a little cloudy):
 
I wish my tanks were as "cloudy" as yours

Not a moss ball, no, but some other species of moss such as java moss, christmas tree moss, flame moss or peacock moss!! Different types are more needy than others, but most can be tied to driftwood and rocks with fishing wire until it becomes attached by itself!

My catfish clearly know there's celebrations afoot in my house after I got my University result today and decided to join in the fun by spawning!! The clever little cories even tried to aid my egg collection by laying eggs on the breeding box walls (yes my catfish are very intelligent 

)!!! It's either the Pandas or the bronzes.. who knows?! 

36 eggs and counting!!

I've been using superglue these days, far easier than tying it IMO

i've never thought of that - is it just regular super glue or do you need special non toxic glue? 
 
And a little EGG UPDATE
 

 
I counted over 120 eggs into the breeders box.. then stopped counting because i was losing count in-between hunting in the leaves! Methylene blue added, and air stone put in! Lets see what happens!!

It has to be superglue based on cyanoacrylate, which most of them are.
