Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately none of them survived over night. I still am really perplexed by it. I did think maybe it was GH shock cause my water was soft but it was a slow acclimation over almost two hours and the emperor tetras had the same acclimation. I have a sponge filter...

Hi, I bought ten black Ruby Barbs today. Acclimated for over an hour and they looked ok when they were released. Now the majority are fairly stationary right at the surface. This is the second batch of black rubies this has happened to. Purchased from different stores and bought months...

Thanks Colin, I think I will separate the gourami for a bit. I'm surprised too cause nothing I've read said that they would nip. Can you think of any other logical explanation though? Also, is ther anything I can do to help the rasboras tails grow back or will they just heal over time? Cheers

Hi, Thanks for the reply. It's a 4 foot tank. Have got a few caves and logs that the pair could use too. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Yes sorry I probably should have been more specific. You are right I did mean out of ram, apistos and kribs Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Thanks @Lajos_Detari for your reply I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I do like the look of the apistos so will look around my LFS to see what's available. I realise that a lot of the eggs and the fry could be eaten in a community tank which is fine as I don't need heaps of...
