Thanks again for the guidance! Will look him up

Thanks man and appreciate all the advice so far. I don’t mind saying that I live in Halifax so if you have any suggestions where to find Pygmy cories that would be great

Sure thing. Temperature is about 78 degrees and pH is 7. Do t know GH and KH offhand but water in our city is considered very soft if that helps. Using same filter that came with the tank - Fluval flex 9 gallon tank. Substrate is fine black sand and tank has artificial plants and a piece...

Hello all, Looking for an alternative to Pygmy cories for my 9G fluval flex. Spoke with my LFS peeps and apparently they are very hard to come by where I live. I have 10 ember tetra and looking for something (other than shrimp or snails) to pair with them. Any thoughts?

Correct. Tank was cycled prior to the first 7 embers going in. Thanks again for the tips!

Hi all, Added my 7 ember tetra to my 9G Fluval Flex a few days ago. As per suggestions on this site, going to build up the school to 12. I used an already cycled filter from another tank on this new one so how long should I wait before adding another 5 embers? No signs of ammonia, nitrites or...

Good idea. Maybe a female betta

Excellent. Thanks man!

So 12 embers and 12 or so Pygmy cories. I like that combo - thanks man! This will all work in the 9G flex?

Hi everyone, I have a 9G Fluval Flex that I just added 7 ember tetra to. Thinking I might add another couple embers and then looking for other stocking suggestions. Any ideas?

Cool - thanks!

Hi all, Please see photos attached - is this a male or female dwarf pea puffer?
