I guess so! :)    I've found that if the water conditions are very good, cories are much more apt to be active and less shy. I'm growing out my 4 java fern, java moss, 2 anubias, and crypts, so I've stuck a few fake plants in so the poor cories won't be too unsheltered. You can tell a lot about...

Those are some beautiful fish you've got there! :D

Yeah, right now I'm taking it slow as far as getting more plants. I haven't had much luck in the past with them.   And as far as dim lighting, I'm just going to have fun with my tank and plants, and if my pygmies spawn, then that's cool. :) I've had pygmies spawn in a high lit plastic planted...

Yes, besides the fact that there is already a plant tied to it. So you think it would do well in the back right corner? 

Yes, I'd like to try some Amazon swords some time. Hopefully I can get some for my b.day and Christmas. That way it doesn't cost me. :D    So do you have any ideas as to where I should put my moss when it goes in? Like what part of the tank (from looking at the picture). 

Your tank is beautiful!! Are the big plants swords?    Yeah, I know my tank looks pretty bad. Hopefully I can get better ferts and maybe wood so the plants can grow out and then I'll work with that. My cories don't seem to mind it, so that's nice. (Although I'd like to give them better.)   Ok...

Think I could see some pics of you guys' tanks? :) I always enjoy seeing what plants and setups people use, along with admiring their fish. :)

Alright, I'll have to check some out. :)

Ok. Doesn't that kind of wood cost a lot? 

That's good advice. :) As far as ferts.... is Leaf Zone ok?  Here's some pics of the tank. It's pretty rough right now. I want to make sure the plants get enough lighting, so that's why I took some plastic plants out. The coryies don't seem to mind. :)  Just a throw back, here's some of my...

Some livebearers can be slow to develop. Just give it some time and you'll know for sure! :) And sometimes males can get fat if they eat a lot. :) 

Is just plain sand ok for plants? I have anubias on rocks, a java fern on a rock, and 2 other java ferns in the sand (but not deep enough to "drown" them). I may get more plants in the future if my present plants start growing. I'd hate to invest more money if my plants aren't going to do well. 

Yeah, I've noticed that. :) Do you know how long it could be, then? Before they can breed?

They look nice and healthy! :D Good luck with them!  

Yep! Hopefully my 4 will do well and I'll get a few more in the weeks to come. :) And I also need to order some java moss... :) One or two males are still showing a bit of courtship behavior. Is this normal is such young coryies?
