I think cherry shrimp are easy to breed. I started with 10 or 12 and after 3 months, I probably have 50 or more. It's impossible to count them!

Here are some pictures from when they were still in quarantine. They've colored up some since then. I'll try to get some better pictures in the morning.

I have two (male and female) and when they were in the quarantine tank I never saw them - they were always hiding. But in my 75 gallon community tank they are always out and active. They are wonderful fish. I highly recommend them!

I've had two banded gouramis (male and female) for about a month now and I absolutely love them. The female isn't as brightly colored, but she is still lovely. They are in a community tank and they get along with everyone. Overall just fantastic fish!

Thanks everyone! I guess it doesn't really matter that much. I was more curious than anything. Regardless, they sure are cute little guys even though they are a bit shy. I'm hoping they'll become less shy as they get used to their new home.

I bought four of these guys yesterday and they were labeled "spotted corydoras". I've browsed some photos on planet catfish, but I can't quite figure out what they are. Sorry that the the picture is a bit blurry - Corys sure move fast when they want too! I'm certain one of you experts here...

Looks like fungus to me. My featherfin synos are prone to it when the nitrates get high (over 80). I found a water change and some pimafix clears it right up.

Actually, its different. Bandeds are slightly bigger than dwarfs and are more hardy. I have a pair (a trio would be better) and they are wonderful fish - active, non-aggressive and pretty.

MeanHoney Gourami :D

I'd like to add some bleeding heart tetras to my 75 gallon tank, but I'm not sure how many. I've read different accounts of their size - anywhere from 2 1/2 to 4 inches. In your experience, how big do they REALLY get?

Looking at the pictures, that's what I thought too. I guess I'll try to find another female this weekend. Hopefully, I'll have better luck telling them apart. Thanks!!

Well, it turned out that the lfs only had two left when I returned. I'm not sure on the sexes. It's nearly impossible in the store and still hard for me at home. Any thoughts??

:thanks: Sylvia. I noticed the ones at my lfs were hiding, maybe from the bright lights. My tank is lightly planted, so maybe I'll add some floating plants.
